The recertificaton policy does not talk about the mechanics of re-takes. When I took my LPIC-1 exam the stated policy was that re-takes weren't allowed unless the objectives had been changed in the meantime; the change of *that* policy must somehow have slipped by me (my bad). More importantly, I am, like Evan, surprised that the issue underlying the recent recertification interval policy change had apparently never been raised on this list before the actual change was promulgated. I used to be under the impression that this list was a venue where ideas like this could be floated *before* an actual policy change, and input from »the LPI community« be solicited. Now it seems that, for whatever reason, the LPI does not consider the readership of this list a part of »the LPI community« to an extent where our input regarding the issue would have been welcome (because otherwise it would have been very appropriate to ask the readers of [email protected] for their thoughts on the matter -- this, unless I'm very much mistaken, is what this list purports to be *for*). If anything, this is a more disturbing development than whatever you could do to the recertification timespan, and I would strongly urge you to either officially declare this list as being provided purely for entertainment purposes, or reconsider your methods for handling future prospective policy changes such that you make more explicit use of this very valuable channel into »the LPI community«. Alternatively, if there is *another* list that one must join where one's contributions might actually to some degree make a difference regarding issues such as this, before the fact, I'd love to hear about that as well.
