Sam, when you do this "cheshire cat" thing, I'm never sure what you are insinuating. I could see Roy saying no, because he believed Jakarta was too big last year. Or, I could see Roy saying yes, because he deeply believes decision-making should be pushed down. Since this is a meritocracy, and we are doing the work of Jakarta, Roy's core belief in meritocracy could outweigh his personal inclinations. Or not, I really can't say. I've never spoken to Roy about this myself, and all I know is what I see in the public emails. The other thing that went around last year implied that we could fragment Jakarta or change its scope. We then trebled the size of the PMC, but apparently skirted the scope issue.
