Wanted to give an update for anyone wondering what changes are coming. Keep in mind, these changes are still awaiting final approval but I would hope that everything will stay the same.

For the current ECE information, visit EC-Council.

Education Course (security-related): 1 credit/hour
Higher Education: 1 quarter hour = 10 credits, 1 semester hour = 15 credits
Certification (security-related): 40 credits (unless it's a renewal of your ECC cert)
Seminar/Conference/Event: 1 credit/hour
Speaking/Presenting: 3 credits/hour
Author Article/Book Chapter: 10 credits
Author Book: 40 credits
Association/Organization Membership (chartered): 2 credits/year
Chapter Membership (chapter-based): 3 credits/year
Association/Organization/Chapter Meeting: 1 credit/hour
Read Book (security-related): 5 credits

The rules are still the same, you must earn 120 credits @ a minimum of 20/year within a 3 year timeframe. We are still discussing a time period cut-off (e.g., credits must be entered within 60 days of earning them). The minimum credit rule and any time cut-offs will not go into effect right away.

Any further comments, etc. are more than welcome.

For those of you that will be attending ChicagoCon, I have some great news to share as well - come find me

I forgot to ask you about this, and you never mentioned it to me. Of course I was running around like a headless chicken. So what's the scoop?

If I gave a presentation what information would I need to supply to get credit for it?  Giving one on Tuesday and would like to start earning the credits to keep my cert.

Grinch:
I would suggest stating where you gave the presentation and what the topic was. In the event you are audited, be prepared to show some further forms of evidence to support your presentation.

Ants:
Glad to hear it! Yes, you probably earned 4 points for GPEN (1 credit/hour of exam).

So where I originally got 2 points for my Security+ exam, two months ago, will I get an additional 38 points when this is made official?

Well that should give it quite a boost. It certainly seemed to do so for the security+
