Some idiot (kind of funny you mention the "man in the mirror"--the
idiot who posted was "named" Mikal Jackson) just posted a set of v2
labs here a couple days ago. Don't know how close they are to the
actual lab. For Cisco to decide.
Looks like it's based in India according to the samspade entry: I
love the street address:
They should have added, knock on the red door three times and utter
the words "Luca Brasi sent me"

I am sworn to silence on the subject for 1 week. Believe me you
will hear as soon as I can share. But this past week I was
instrumental in having one site removed and Rent-A-Cert (the
company) given a strict warning about their activities.
Give me names of companies selling test questions and my best friend
at Cisco will act swiftly!

That's great.
So what can you and your best friend do about companies selling
supposed CCIE test questions / test content? That's also a NO NO
adn there's also got to be a way to stop that.
And it makes the test harder for the rest of us, becasue now they
have to play tricks on us and make the test a Suduko puzzle.

The two CCIEs who recently were revoked lived in Asia Pac and
claimed to work for a channel in Pakistan. This really sucks since
in Pakistan they have CCIEs who need work! But I hated to be a part
of any CCIE losing their number so I begged for this program and
they gave it to me. So help me get the word out!

Yea, Cisco is really coming down on this (it's good thing). During
your next audit, you have to PROVE that the CCIE WORKS for you,
etc. Just no details are known yet on exactly how that is going to
be proven or what mechanisms are acceptible. I'm sure one way would
be the Cisco AM / SE statement. "nope, never heard of him--never
seen him walking the halls, on a conference call, etc."

I received this note from Eman a little while ago and he asked me to
share it with you.
I cannot confirm or deny any of this, but I have been faced with
this situation before.

CCIE Amnesty Program
What does amnesty mean? Well it has been years since I thumbed
through my Funk and Wagnalls dictionary so I could not actually find
it! Instead I hopped on-line and looked it up.
Noun1.amnesty - a period during which offenders are exempt from
punishment
Verb1.amnesty - grant a pardon to (a group of people)
If you have not been informed there are many ways to use your CCIE
number. A few of these methods are frowned upon by Cisco and can
even cost you that hard earned number. Yes, recently I personally
witnessed the revoking of a pair of CCIEs who had associated their
numbers to a channel they did not work for. This is strictly
forbidden by Cisco and can result in severe penalties to the Channel
and the CCIE. (see http://www.itworld.com/networking/69359/innocuous-or-unethical
)
I felt pretty badly about the CCIEs losing their certifications and
wanted to help prevent this as much as I can. So I called Monica
(my best friend at Cisco) and we put our heads together to come up
with a solution. From this chat the CCIE Amnesty program was born.
The rules are very clear about CCIEs whose numbers are used to help
advance channel partners reseller status. The CCIE must work and
live where the company is located. Number associations have been
done in some creative ways both with and without the CCIE’s particip
ation. As I described in February on my blog http://www.ccieagent.com/
in the story , “CCIE Hostage Stand-Off”, sometimes unsuspecting
CCIEs are fooled by a company simply to get them to associate their
number. The company in this story after passing the Cisco Audit put
the CCIEs on unpaid leave. In other cases the CCIE simply succumbs
to the temptation to associate their number because their real empl
oyer has no use for it. So they get a small fee for the number and
are never utilized by the company, I call this a Rent-A-Cert. This
is a name used by a company acting as a recruiting company but in a
ctuality putting certified individuals in harm’s way.
Here’s our plan, for the next 90 days I am asking any CCIE who is in
a situation where their CCIE number is associated with a company th
ey are not really working for to step forward and I will have their
number released from that employer with no repercussions or penaltie
s. The company will then have nine months to resolve their need and
the CCIE will help another CCIE have a shot at a real job. Think a
bout it, if you have your number associated with a company that need
s the number you are taking a job away from another CCIE who needs a
job.
How to proceed.
Send me an email [email protected] and I will call you to begin the
process. I will keep you out of hot water and help the channel
partner replace you with a real CCIE to join their staff. If you
are the victim of a channel that is holding your number against your
will I will help release your number also without reprisals to the
channel partner in question.
Tell your friends tell your coworkers but most of all tell the man
in the mirror (ala Michael Jackson) it’s wrong so let’s clean it
up! There is an effort to identify the fraudulent associations so p
lease take advantage of this amnesty before you get a letter from Ci
sco about your CCIE number being revoked!
