Total on the list = 15 (includes active, inactive, and suspended).
All statistics are based upon actual verification with the Cisco CCIE/CCDE
Verification Tool.

20070001 - Russ White
20070002 - John Cavanaugh
20070003 - Bruce Pinsky
20070004 - Khalid Raza
20070005 - William Parkhurst
20070006 - Alvaro Retana
20070007 - Mosaddaq Turabi
20070008 - Steve Barnes
20080001 - Ryan Hicks
20080002 - Michael Morris
20080003 - Reinhold Fischer
20090001 - Thomas Whaley
20090002 - Radu Hambasan
20090003 - Jeremy Filliben
20090004 - Claus Holbech

Indeed 7 CCDEs outside of Cisco... CCA should be interesting. As I haven't
done any hands-on for the last 2.5 years, passing CCIE becomes more
difficult and CCDE/CCA are more appropriate to my role as
consultant/architect...

Just my 2 ct
