ISC(2) changing CPE requirements
https://www.isc2.org/certification-maintenance-and-requirements/default.aspx (login required I think)
Looks like they are changing their CPE process to even distribute the required CPEs over the life of the certification period... currently, if you do the minimum number of CPEs per year, you would still come up short. Now, (as I understand it), if you do the minimum each year, in both group A and group B, then it is enough to stay current. Went from 20/year to 30/year.
This is a good change, IMO. Common sense prevails, for once!

Now it is a minimum of 40 per year over 3 years for a total of 120.
I believe I read that this was done as there were some who would do the minimum for the first 2 years and then swamp the last year.
That likely is the reason. Frankly though, I don't have a lot of sympathy for adults with poor time management skills. It seems rather silly to change the rules to help encourage people to be a bit more accountable with their own certification.

I know most CISSPs aren't in the military, but plain and simple, I think most of us hit bad years here and there... our parents or kids becoming ill and needing a lot of extra care, divorces or marriages that change our normal routines, job changes that require immense attention (I've been on big projects where for months at a time they were what I lived and breathed), and the list goes on. Making 40 CPEs certainly isn't impossible in those years, but it's an additional and unnecessary distraction, and allowing for balance by saying "hey, even if you only make 20 this year you can make it up next year" seemed like a good way of dealing with those short term (or helping with long term) life events that don't allow us to focus quite so much on CPEs.
Just an average Joe's opinion...
