Re: ccie LAB validity period

Hey Jack.

Technically yes, for the first round. But that extra year when you are
suspended is counted towards (or substructures from if you will) the
next two years of active status so if you take the written test just
before your extra year ends, you'll have just one year of active status
for the next turn-abound of your recertification. If you take this
approach for your first round of recertification you may very well end
up being just one year active and one year suspended until you break
this circle by taking recert test more often.

Let alone your work might not be happy of a suspended CCIE. If I
remember right, only active CCIEs are counted towards Cisco partner status.

Hope that makes sense, Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
