My concern with diversification into clearly distinct domains such as citizen development is that I don't believe PMI has done a good enough job of elevating practitioner capability within core areas yet. Risk management is a good example of that - it is still very weakly practiced in most companies outside of those where life & limb are at stake.
Sometimes it feels like decision making there is like an episode of Pinky & the Brain: "What shall we do today, Brain?" "Same thing we did yesterday, Pinky. Try and take over the world!"

Agree, Kiron, clarity from PMI about the roadmap is missing. I also understand the concerns from Luis and others.
Every organization has to choose which areas to improve and where to innovate. Strategy is about making these choices.
And we need a measurement to understand when core areas are 'good enough'. I have seen many companies making lip services to areas like risk, quality and even performance management. So what could an organization like PMI even do to convince them? It is up to them to come to the conclusion that it creates value for their business model. Saving Changes...

PMI is not a "non-profit" company but rather a "not for profit" company which means there is nothing preventing it from making a profit year-over-year, but that is not its primary purpose.

The status nonprofit vs. not-for-profit for PMI is defined by US tax authorities. 501(c)(3) is the tax section for nonprofits, as PMI chose to be 501(c)(6), it is a not-for-profit organization.
Both means that any profits made are not given to anyone, to shareholders, but are used to further the purpose of the organization. Well doing organization examples in terms of profits are the IOC or the Red Cross.

The government expects tax from revenues, also for not for profits. Exam fees are revenues and PMI has to pay taxes in US for them.
