Endorsement Question

threatguru

I am going to be taking the exam in about a week. If I pass, is it in poor taste to ask another CISSP to endorse me that I do not know that well? Here is my thinking:

ISC2 has to verify your credentials to endorse you. Couldn't a current CISSP do the same thing if they are willing to call upon references and verify employment in the same manner? The reason I ask is because the endorsement speed of another CISSP seems to go much quicker than going through ISC2?

I guess I wouldn't see a difference as long as the endorser is willing to provide the due diligence necessary to vouch? thoughts?

Thanks!

It does not have to be a current CISSP. All it has to be is an ISC2 member in good standing. My CISSP was endorsed by a person who holds the SSCP.
