Yeah to be honest, I have 2 other officer positions (OODT + Tika) and am active in a lot of other projects. So as today, I'd say, if you want that VP, Incubation role (as the dude who will execute the plan, and who will be accountable for it) to continue beyond 6 months, then I would likely have to be replaced then. But who knows what 6 months time will bring anyways with respect to my feelings. Dunno. I like your attitude though -- if I need to be replaced then, replace me.
