[...] I disagree with your description of the P&P part of the NM process, to the point of finding it offensive. Please do not describe it worse than it has been for ages, you make a great disservice to everyone involved. A license workshop would not be significant for the NM process, where we assume a person, already at the point of applying, is ready to have an account and use it responsibly. I consider a multi-choice exam a terrible idea, since interacting with an Application Manager is more about actually having a conversation, rather than proving one's knowledge. An exam at an event would actually be harder than answering an email at home, since at home one would be able to relax, take time, sip one's favourite beverage and search on the internet. Finally, I noticed a tendency at real-world events to advocate people just because one finds them pleasant to talk to. I would rather limit this kind of bias rather than encourage it.
