  1. You must be associated with at least one qualifying portal site or app. It is fine to also be associated with other portal sites or apps that do not meet our qualification criteria. Your association with such sites or apps will not prevent you from qualifying as a certified member unless noted below.
  2. A qualifying portal site must have its own domain name and cannot be a free portal site. You must own the domain or work for the owner.

  5. You must have a qualifying portal site up and running for at least three months prior to your acceptance as a certified member.
