What is your view on recertification?

The downside: inconvenient, can be seen as a "money grab"

The upside: required for NCCA accreditation which is one way to give BSD 
certification value--however, NCCA allows us to define the recertification time 
period and criteria

If there is to be a recertification:

1. should it be by time period, and which period? every 3 years? every 5 years?

2. should it be by version number? e.g. if certification was in FreeBSD, should 
it be when a new release tree is released? e.g. someone certified on FreeBSD 
6.x would need to recertify within (e.g. 6 months) of FreeBSD 7.x going stable

3. if someone is an "associate" and writes the "professional" sometime before 
the recert period is due, should the recert clock start ticking over again?
