I went through this myself (well, I looked into it myself). The day I
passed the lab my number was associated with the lil' channel partner that I
own without my having taken any kind of action that I recall. I was unsure
of where I would take my career following the lab, so I wondered if I would
be able to break my number free for any other partner out there that I might
wind up going to work for. The happy ending is that I never needed to worry
about it; my number remains at home safe and sound and I have no immediate
plans for it to go elsewhere. But according to my local account manager
(and my understanding of what many others have said hear in the past), it
would have been no problem to break that number free if the losing company
didn't object and would sign or write some type of release document. Since
you own it, I'm guessing "they" wouldn't object/would cooperate with the
release process! ;~)
And I'm with Ron on this one - I don't think you can have it both ways.
Either you will be a contract employee with no value towards the partner's
certification level or you will have to give up your number to them.
Don't forget that Cisco aggressively pursues CCIE leasing schemes, BTW...

From my experience, your number has to be associated to the new company.
There's no "proxy" association (that I know of).

Subject: OT: gold partner associations
I'm an independent, and my CCIE is associated with my own company. If I was
to work with a partner for them to get gold status, and I am considered a
full time contractor, how does that work? Do I associate my company to them,
or do I have to associate my number directly with their company?
