      Made all proposed changes. For line 292 (Diagram), added the narrative: "The implementors subsequently establish a targeted state of Cybersecurity activities (based on both industry specific mandatory regulations as well as management objectives)..."

      In general the NIST Cybersecurity Framework target profiles are completely subjective with respect to the organization's mandatory regulatory requirements as well as any other non-mandatory objectives it may wish to comply with. The organization's management have complete control over which standards and objectives it wants to enforce.

      Line 136: Section 5 provides an example implementation of how the MQTT Cybersecurity Framework can be used. --> Section 5 provides a worked example of how the MQTT Cybersecurity Framework can be used.

      Line 140: each function presented here is non-exhaustive and merely provides a starting point --> each function presented here is non-exhaustive and provided as a starting point

      Line 175: The organization may implement some portions of the Framework on an irregular, case-by-case basis due to varied experience or information gained from outside sources. --> The organization might implement some portions of the Framework on an ad hoc basis due to varied experience or information gained from outside sources.

      Line 181: In addition, risk-informed, management approved processes and procedures are defined and implemented and staff has adequate resources to perform their Cybersecurity duties. In addition, risk-informed, management approved processes and procedures are defined and implemented. Staff have adequate resources to perform their Cybersecurity duties.

      Line 189: These updates to the Profile enable the organization to actively adapt to a changing Cybersecurity landscape and emerging/evolving threats. Risk-informed policies, processes, and procedures are part of the organizational culture and evolve from previous activities (and from information shared by other sources) to predict and address potential Cybersecurity events. --> These updates to the Profile enable the organization to adapt to an evolving Cybersecurity landscape and address emerging threats. Risk-informed policies, processes, and procedures are part of the organizational culture and are reviewed regularly - including feedback from lessons learned and information shared from other sources - to predict and address potential Cybersecurity events.

      Line 204: thus revealing gaps that should be addressed to meet MQTT Cybersecurity risk management objectives. --> thus revealing gaps that could be addressed to meet MQTT Cybersecurity risk management objectives.

      Line 204: Figure 1 shows the two types of Profiles --> Figure 1 illustrates two such Profiles

      Line 215: of a roadmap that organizations should implement to reduce MQTT related Cybersecurity risk. --> of a roadmap that organizations could implement to reduce MQTT related Cybersecurity risk.

      Line 217: consider changing "USA energy provider" to "Large energy provider" to achieve a more general example applicable to a wider audience.

      Line 218 This section illustrates puts the Framework in practice by applying the different components in a concrete use case. --> This section provides a worked example to show how the Framework can be applied to help manage MQTT Cybersecurity risk.

      Line 226: To leverage the capacity and augment the capability of an energy provider standards-based, modular communication platform (e.g. a "communications node"), the company is executing a pilot project to define, test, and implement an open-source, broker-agnostic, and distributed field message bus architecture. --> The organization is looking to build a new architecture around an open-source, broker agnostic 'communication node' concept and is running a pilot project to assess feasibility, and integration within its wider message bus.

      Line 292 (Diagram) Not clear where the target state come from for this example - was it a regulatory requirement or a management decision ? Consider adding narrative earlier in the example, maybe to the introduction.
