That's one issue I see with the 2011 delegation [0], that said:

"They will be responsible to the Project for (…) how Debian resources 
are used (…)".

For me, making them responsible implies that they are either actually 
taking these decisions, or exercise some sort of leadership onto the 
team actually taking these.

If we expect the DC$n teams to decide on the use of 'Debian resources' 
on their own, then these teams should be made responsible, not the 
chairs.
