Just got confirmation of current status on my vExpert for NSX 2017. I was in the first group of VMware vExpert NSX back in August 2016. I had applied for the current 2017 vExpert NSX but somehow my name was overlooked. Thanks to @vCommunityGuy Corey Romero fixing this oversight I am back in among a great group of people who love NSX and how it will radically change the way you do network.
