Re: CCIE Amnesty?

Few thoughts about this:

1) I don't remember a policy that I signed as CCIE individual that
specifically forbids the 'renting' practice. It is the partner policy
that forbids the practice, so CCIEs might be unaware of it. Please
show me where it is posted.
2) Partners do not get punished for violating the policy. I know at
least one example. OK, that partner was founded by a proeminent
distributor...

Anyway, good to know.
