Review Exposure Draft - PMBOK(R) Guide--Sixth Edition (Front End and Knowledge Area Sections).
Did anybody had a chance to go through the draft. What I see in the draft is that CLOSE PROCUREMENT has been removed.

Clarifications given by Markus on Project Managers role is quite right, basically planning, scheduling including resources, monitoring. In most organizations there is Dy. Director or Director above in hierarchy and so closure of project or procurement decision is squarely on them.
