I can't edit the title of the question...I don't like to see there PMBOK 7th edition while we are talking about the standards.
and it never was the PM BoK only ever the GUIDE to a portion of it Saving Changes...

Hmmm
Well its a essay not a guide for professionals.
Its a series of responses to the way in which PMI published guidance has seen relevance drop so has seen other sources of influence grow.
Its way way off in the discussion of Stewardship. Western governance is agency based and so is the rest of the world that follows western business practice - IE All O&G, Civil eng. Pharma. They strayed into a minefield of philosophy and moral / reigious belief and values systems there.
Turning lines 500ish to 14xx into Guide to BoK will be hard and I don't see understanding in the sections on systems, complexity, change, people etc that suggests understanding is profound or practical enough to do that - Eg Complex calls for proactive without any hint of how to be in reactive control - like a chef with a pan claiming to be 'complete' by adding wok to their writing but w/ no idea of an oven
'Nice' to see them repeat what so many others have been saying for a long time - projects are an investment - Didn't need to so directly borrow itil's description. AND is it right to expand the PM role as a result - IMHO that answer is No - Industry isn't set-up nor are 90% of PM's skill sets ever able to accommodate that.
There is a lot more but this isn't the thread Saving Changes...

I submitted 2 recommendations on the Exposure Draft today, perhaps more editorial and not what PMI is looking for:
Your recommendation:
Provide a Table of Contents as a separate page at the beginning of the Exposure Draft
Your justification:
A Table of Contents as a separate page in the Exposure Draft would have given readers an overview of the document's contents and organization. It would have been particularly useful for people who chose to print the document.

The opportunity for ALL to participate is one of the strengths of PMI. No matter what level of experience or expertise.... everyone is invited to give an opinion. The standards committee is so attentive to sorting through the comments and seeing common themes. Thank you PMI for the transparency. Saving Changes...
