A "no" vote from me.

It's true the two last nominees -- Jan and Louis -- did discuss their
views at length, but there was not really much discussion on the
selections from this list. Contrast this from the discussions that
preceded the nominations for the initial PMC chair --

I am  not convinced our remaining nominee, Louis, is the right person
for the chair job at the current time. And, I agree with Michael
Stehmann that we should spend some time on defining what the chair role
means to this project. Finally, I do hope Andrea might stay on for a bit
longer while we come to a consensus.
