  I like the idea of the "open" license for exam content.

  Personally, I don't see any significant disadvantages - and I see no
loss of a requirement that the material is well understood in order to
successfully pass the exams.

  By embracing an open concept it has the added value of potentially
greater quality control with more scrutiny by more eyes.  It also
projects a transparency that I think would be appreciated and
commendable.  Besides, it just "fits" with the open source model.

  What criteria would be used to determine whether or not it "works out"?

  I'm not so sure about this idea.  This seems to imply breaking the
existing structure and flow of LPI exams, or creating a separate
stream.  Or, are you suggesting that the 304 exam may not fit at the
300-level, and that there should be a similar set of non-linear
exams/specializations at the 100-level?

Thanks,
Dave
