Dear Andrew,
Now that PMI has your money for the membership, books, exams etc, you are probably off their radar…….. One of the MAJOR reasons I left the organization was because of their abysmal customer service…….
Another point you may want to do some reading on……. There is not one, but two PUBLISHED researches, one of them funded in part by PMI, that establishes very convincingly that project management is NOT a profession and probably never will become one…….. (As project management is a methodology, process or system, and that methodology, process or system is embedded into virtually all existing professions, trades and even our day to day lives, how can one parse out the process, (which is embedded) from the trade or profession itself?)
As you will come to find out, many of us who were originally PMI supporters have left the organization and now support alternate professional organizations which are more legitimate professional organization and less 20 million dollar a year big businesses, conveniently masquerading as 501(c)(3) not for profit.

Subject: PMHUB-G Andrew Buck, PMP: “(Not) PMO-in-a-Can”, and why something is missing
... Interesting book on PM and comments on PMI, PMBOK and the state of PM world by Andrew Buck - the blog now published in PMHUB blog:
"My book isn’t necessarily a friend to my own profession because it mostly gives a swift kicking to the notion of the traditional Project Management Office. This is not a new or novel concept, since there’s been a high sense of backlash over the seeming confusion in purpose to what a PMO is or “should be”. The great misconception is that a PMO is a one-size-fits-all proposition, or that most project managers or heads of project management offices feel as if there is only a single model for what one should look like.
Bunk.
I take that sort of thinking to task, along with a few other notions and misconceptions about project management, PMO’s, and the role and value of the profession as it’s been diminished in the eyes of so many. There’s more behind the story that I was careful not to state in the book, and I’ll clue into the backstory of that now. In order to publish the book, I had to seek three legal clearances from three different entities: Carnegie Mellon University’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI), The UK’s Office of Government Commerce (home for ITIL, PRINCE2, and APM), and our old beloved Project Management Institute (PMI).
You’ll be surprised at who hasn’t responded to the request for clearance. I got almost instant legal clearance from SEI. A couple of days was all it took for the United Kingdom’s Office of Government Commerce to provide the guidelines.
I’m still waiting for PMI to wake up. "
