Your blog says above that gold partners ""will continue to be required to hold four Cisco Advanced Architecture Specializations," but that's not the current requirement. The current requirement is to hold THREE out of the FOUR Advanced Architecture Specializations (documented here: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/partner_with_cisco/channel_partner_program/resale/specializations/gold.html )

Are you upping the Gold Advanced Architectural Specialization requirements by 33% from 3 to 4, or will Gold partners be required to have only 3 as before? I'm thinking it's the former, but haven't been able to find anything definitive online yet.

Thanks in advance for clarifying.
