It doesn't say that you have to have a CISSP vouch for you. Another "qualified" 
person, employer, or "certified" person will have to vouch for you. As to what the 
ISC2 deems as "certified" and "qualified" we'll have to wait and see. My biggest bitch 
is with the 4 year degree requirement in 2003. Having only a GED, this will definitely 
force me to take the exam soon. I know many folks that skip the college route to go 
into either the networking or security fields and generally they end up doing quite 
allright professionally.
 
Oh well,

        I agree whole heartily. I have a ton of security experience
        and I am planning on taking the exam in July. I don't
        know any CISSP's at all (even casually). I am the only
        security person at my company. How on earth could they
        expect a total stranger to vouch for me? Why would not
        knowing a CISSP be a reason to disqualify you from
        getting certified?
