To make Dave's answer specific to your question: Yes, as chair of Apache Drat (a TLP) you are expected to follow board@ "to ensure that [you] are aware of Foundation level issues that may affect their project":
https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair Podling or IPMC folk do *not* need to subscribe (and unless they're Members, they can't subscribe to board@). Personally, I expect TLP Chairs to ensure quarterly reports are submitted and that their project replies to all direct board questions (typically the "Board feedback on..." emails) in a timely manner. Reading *all* of the rest board@ is not something I personally think plenty of chairs do, which I certainly understand the past month or so.
