Thoughts on IAPP's Privacy Law Specialist designation? Seems like a pretty low bar to attain for people who actually practice in the area, yet there don't seem to be many takers. Are there downsides I'm not thinking of?

If you’ve been in the space for at least three years and meet the 25% “ongoing and substantial” criteria, the rest is pretty easy if you’ve already got the certifications. No reason not to IMO. I imagine having to get the CIPM or CIPT in addition to the CIPP/US is probably what makes most folks avoid it.

Just means stepping up more in terms of participating in the org’s racket. More certs you don’t really need, more reason to pay to attend their conferences and pay for their certs and trainings, etc. That is their biz model.
