RE: CCNP recert harder than CCIE written

Do I still need to recertify my Associate or Professional level certifications if I am a CCIE?
Certifications at the CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP and CCIP levels are valid for three years while certifications at the CCIE, Cisco Qualified Specialist and Specialization levels are valid for two years. Recertification at the CCIE level automatically extends the valid dates for the Associate and Professional level certifications to the recertification deadline for the CCIE.

Do you have a CCO link that shows this? I haven't found official word
that it's the case. My NP/DP are both due to expire this October, and
I just completed recert on my CCIE. Too soon to see it on the tracking
system, they say to give it ten days.

The CCIE and "Career certifications" tracks have traditionally been
disconnected from each other in the past.

I don't feel that it's really all that important to renew the NP/DP
once you have the CCIE, but I can imagine some clueless employer's
HR department rejecting a CCIE because the job requirements state
that a CCNP is required. Not sure if I'd want to work in such a
place but you never know.
