I'm probably answering this too broadly, as I'm thinking of what I need from Dr. Bob at all, not necessarily as a visible presence on the boards. But anyway, here goes in no particular order:
1. Pay the bills so the boards stay open and accessible.
2. Technical maintenance to fix any problems and improve functioning as needed.
3. Support and supervise the deputies, which means adequate communication with them, accessibility to them, and respect for their contributions and unique role.
4. Act on admin issues that the deputies are not able to, for whatever reason, or adapting roles or rules to make the need for him to step in a rare event.

So that's what I've got, just about my reactions, as I certainly can't speak for anyone else. I'm right there with you, Scott, about the problem with trying to express a global consensus here.
