It's 2012. Any updates on this?

Strada, I haven't heard anything.

As painful as I find it to read all these comments, I sure hope and pray that SOMEBODY at the GBCI, or maybe even at the USGBC, is reading and paying attention. My 10-year on-again, off-again minor frustration at the NEEDLESS difficulty (i.e. time-cost, monetary-loss) of working with LEED is growing into a disturbing fear that GBCI's hired army of lawyers and bureaucratic administrators, who are are like generals woefully out of touch with their soldiers, are dealing a deathblow to the future of LEED: I have dedicated, 10-year, triple-certified-projects clients asking me what I know about GreenGlobes, and consulting engineers who no longer offer a fixed-fee for pursuing LEED registration! The M.O. at GBCI has been to throw something out there and then see if it floats, as if all the lost time suffered by teh LEED design team is only a minor, and unavoidable inconvenience for them. I was shocked during this week's LEEDuser's MPR#6 webinar at how often the GBCI presenter said 'oh, yea, we know that doesn't work ('is a problem', 'needs to be fixed', etc, etc), and we're HOPING that MAYBE we MIGHT be able to .....' My LEED certification Online time tripled on my last LEED 2009 project over the previous 3 LEED v2.2 projects :(
