Author content is one that I will definitely be interested in. It may be for 
the folks that help review the exam content, which I think includes some people 
outside Cisco.

It's kind of both for me, Ryan.  Between the time it takes to prepare for the 
exam and the cost of the exam, some of us might find it cheaper to earn the 
credits.  Especially if you're already going to Cisco Live regularly (I'm 
slated to earn 19 credits this year), and you author content regularly (not 
really what I'm known for, but I've written a thing or two).

I haven't had my CCIE long enough to get Emeritus like you, but I was very 
close to just letting it go inactive, because I no longer believe in the 
process.  This change might just be the breath of life for the CCIE.  Maybe...

I hadn’t heard about this until Dan’s email but it seems to me the idea isn’t 
so much about providing a way to recert without taking the exam but to let 
folks who are paying for the classes to expand their expertise get credit for 
it.

Given the current state of the collab written (it’s driven me to Emeritus) I 
imagine this will also drive up consumption of some of these classes.

I recommend you look through the credit options.  So far most of the courses I 
found range between $500 and $1000 and they only give you a max of 40 credits.  
So this could be a great idea but execution not so clean.  It's still 
significantly cheaper to just pay and take the test again versus the $3k or so 
I estimated it will cost me to take classes and pass based on points alone.

Looks like there's a $300 admin fee (basically what you'd pay for the written 
exam i think), and then options for credits, including cisco live sessions 
which is kinda nice.

This seems like great news, as I loath the current CCIE Collaboration Written 
exam.  Which, I have by the way, submitted an application to help improve it, 
but no one has ever gotten back to me on.

I'll look into this more, but as long as there's no catch (like $5,000 in 
cost), this is a great alternative to taking the written.

Some of you might be interested to hear that Cisco has announced a new method 
of renewing one’s expert-level certification. While taking a written exam is 
still an option, those needing to renew their CCIE/CCDE will be allowed to 
enroll themselves in select classes, online and in-person, which will count 
towards renewal credits. Renewal will require 100 credits in total and applies 
to both active and suspended status cert holders.
