+\subsubsection{Minor Document Changes Guidance}\label{administrative-changes-guidance}}
+The intention of the rigorous process outlined in 
+Section~\ref{the-standardization-process} for proposed
+changes to the PMIx Standard is to ensure quality and consistency of 
+the interface and the overall document. However, in some cases, 
+PMIx participants may propose minor changes to the document that 
+should not require the full process required for substantive changes. 
+Examples of these minor changes include fixes for typographical errors 
+(``typos''), missing or erroneous punctuation, and formatting changes.
+
+In the case minor changes are proposed, the proposer should 
+create an issue and pull request as described in Sections~\ref{initial-discussion}
+and \ref{proposed-modification} and then bring the
+changes to the attention of the ASC Co-Chairs and Release Managers.
+The Co-Chairs and Release Managers will evaluate the proposed
+changes to determine whether they are minor or substantive.
+Additionally, all PMIx participants are encouranged to examine
+and comment on the changes in the pull request to aid the
+Co-Chairs and Release Managers in their decision.
+If all Co-Chairs and Release Managers determine that the
+changes are minor and do not alter the meaning of the current standard text, 
+then the changes do not require the full process and
+the changes can be applied to the document in the next release.
+Alternatively, if any of the Co-Chairs or Release Managers determine 
+that the changes do or could alter the meaning of the current standard text, 
+the changes will be handled using the full rigorous process
+as described in Section~\ref{the-standardization-process}.
