I think everyone should forward the original email to their Cisco CAMs and
request. If we make enough noise, perhaps we'll get some cool plaques.
I'd say it's warranted at the CCxP level (although, give things for CCxA on
the plaque as well), and perhaps even once you get any single CCNA-level
Specialization. Maybe even if you just get both CCNA and CCDA they could
send it.
Of course, Cisco is in budget cutting mode, so it's doubtful. The Cisco of
6 mos. ago would have done it though.
