CFAI email about CIPM unification

Did anyone understand that email?

CIPM candidates will now be applying for regular membership instead of CIPM membership to get the CIPM designation. They key difference seems to be that previously applying for CIPM membership needed either 2 years of specific performance measurement/reporting related work experience or 4 years of general investment decision making experience. After this change, 4 years of experience will be the only option as any other regular membership application.

Gotcha

So, basically, they will be non-charterholder members of CFAI? Have to keep those fees flowing I guess.
