George,
Respectfully I have to disagree - I have taken it also (today - twice - and I have to completion certificates to show for it - the connection dropped the first time and it made me start again from the beginning).
I compared the content to my notes from October. I find no knew content. There was more information in the prior course presentation.
It did take less time to complete (well if you do it only once) compared to the prior version. I also noted that there is nothing in the course that isn't in the slides we present at the start of every standards meeting. In fact we provide more information
from those slides than was in this course (e.g. compare the dominance material here with the one line in the course materials:
https://standards.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/import/documents/other/Participant-Behavior-Individual-Method.pdf)
Everythign about this "requirement" is disrespectful to the volunteers. It is a minor annoyance but totally unnecessary.
FWIW

Subject: Re: [802SEC] Redundant training requirements - is it just me?
Ben - I took the new training, which seems to have been revamped since last time I did it. I found the new training had been significantly improved and was worthwhile (including some decent anti-dominance material).

I received an email from "no-reply@compliance.ieee.org"
this morning, well I fished it out of the spam/scam bin this morning.
The subject is "Understanding IEEE SA's Antitrust, Competition, and Commercial Terms Policies--New Required IEEE Training Assignment"
Note "new requirement". I have completed several courses on this topic. Most recently I completed this exact course in October of
2023. This is clearly shown in my ILM transcript. Wondering if this was a mistake, after several dozen clicks I found this helpful notice:
"Warning
You have one or more training assignments for this item.
You may have completed this item for a previous training assignment, but you need to complete it again for the current training period."
explicitly admitting that this is completely redundant and advising me that I must do this despite it serving no useful purpose.
I am wondering if anyone else has received this same requirement, or is it just me? Asking for a friend....
