This is in fact one of the central responsibilities of any PMC chair at
Apache, including the IPMC chair.
http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair
Remember that, as in any meeting, the chair is a facilitator and their
role within the PMC is to ensure that everyone has a chance to be heard
and to enable meetings to flow smoothly. There is no concept of "leader"
in the Apache way.
The title of "Vice President" is misleading, as the chair is much more of an
ombudsman than a decision maker.
If there is confusion, it may be worthwhile to emphasize the ombudsman aspect
of the chair position.
