RE: OT: Part time Cisco work with CCIE Number

Excerpts from this article from Monica about some work done for CCIEs around
this topic:

In Monica's case this example of her work should help all CCIEs breathe
easier. After the recent counterfeit CCIE we smoked out I was contacted via
LinkedIn by a recruiter in the UK who feels that this kind of activity
lowers the salaries of ethical CCIEs. Maybe she is right and this exercise
is helping preserve the value of the investment so many have made in their
CCIE certifications.

When the names of 5 CCIEs appeared on a partner new application for Gold
certification, the Program Manager had to validate that these CCIEs were
eligible to fill those roles. As you know, Eman, the CCIEs have to reside in
the country seeking certification. From the very beginning, the Program
Manager suspected that the partner was not being completely transparent
regarding the country of residency of the CCIEs listed on the application.
It was not too difficult to suspect deceit, especially since the CCIEs on
the application had Korean names and the partner seeking certification was
located in Pakistan.

The Cisco Brand Protection team immediately started an investigation. Three
of the CCIEs stated that they had no knowledge that the Partner had listed
them on the application. The other two CCIEs indicated they lived in
Pakistan and worked for the Partner. However, when the email headers were
analyzed, IP addresses indicated they originated in Korea.

Cisco audits include simple things like checking the LinkedIn page of a
CCIE. I have seen this happen. But, I have also seen the contracts used to
do Rent-a-certs and there are some good ones out there that seem to protect
the CCIE, it's the channel that then suffers instead. Off-line if you want
to discuss I am available. Protect your number because it cost too much to
lose for the pittance paid for it's use.

That's impossible to prove...

Dozens of CCIE's who work for big banks, govt, etc and are not Affiliated
with a partner have always done for this extra cash...

Partner's often can't stay competitive and keep up gold, silver and other
thetan levels withour stunt c*ck CCIE's on their payroll..

If a partner is audited they can just state the CCIE's works 40 hours remote
and 2 hours a week at customer meetings... most consultant firms are setup
that way anyway - no worries...

Cisco partner rules state a CCIE must work for full time for a partner for
the latter to use the former's number.
