1.  I am not sure why the board doesn't allow one of the references to validate experience.  It appears rather unseemly to have to trawl for references if one has to use your supervisor to verify experienec in order to sit for the exam, versus using the supervisor as one of the references.

2.  It is appreciated that the Board does not invent Virginia specific classes so popular in other states.  Requiring classes such as a hypothetical "Ethics for Virginia Engineers" are self serving to local training vendors only.  The regulations drafted are very clear and need nothing to further explain their meaning.
