Nope, that's just a quick overview of it. The full document has more
than 50 pages. It can be found somewhere on the partner's part of
cisco.com (sorry I don't have a link available).

There's one critical keyword not appearing in the document you linked
to above, that's the term "exclusive":
"CCIE must have **exclusive**, full-time contract with partner in
country seeking certification and must dedicate 100 percent of his or
her time to that partners business" (emphasis mine)
And of course, 100% doesn't mean "if you work only 35 hours a week for
someone else and are willing to do a few more hours for us, that's
OK". It means 100% of your working time, no matter the length, i.e. no
side job.
