-------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: A Proposed Consensus for Recertification and Renewal Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 15:54:53 -0700 From: "Rowe, Julie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> HI Dan - hope you are doing well.... What is the history on this info below....here are my thoughts but I don't know if they've been raised before or not... Regarding Certification Reqs: You MAY want to be in a position to require folks to recertify but this is typically not done until a product goes through two major revisions - in other words, minor revisions don't require recertification, but 2 major revs imply that old certs are VERY outdated and thus devalue the certification so it is within the certifying body's best interest to keep the certification viable by making CCR necessary....not sure if the major rev syndrome applies in the linux world or not... Finally, I don't think you would ever want to state that you update exams every 2 years. In the world of technology, 2 years is an enormously long time and this could again devalue the certification - you can do it, just don't state it....for instance, CompTIA does get criticized for this policy.... <snip -jrb> Regards, Julie -----Original Message----- From: Richard Rager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 30, 1999 12:10 PM To: Jared Buckley Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: A Proposed Concensus for Recertification and Renewal This is about the best you can do.
