Feeling a little sorry for @tobyrichards right now expecting he'll be catching some heat from #MSPartners during the AMA he's hosting. Hopefully we can get some answers about Internal Use Rights changes to the partner program.

218 people on the call.

Confirmed that IUR for sales and development will stay in some way.

Seems like they still value partners. Per this slide it seems they want to tell us Microsoft turning their back from #mapartners.

Erez says they spend more on their partners than any other competitor. I’d say they spend a lot but it’s hard to understand where those incentives are earned. Reporting sucks.

They could spend less but smarter to drive behavior.

New advanced specializations that #mspartners can qualify for that will be announced at #MSInspire

Gold #cloud partners will move from 100k to 300k #azure sales

20 min into AMA and not a single question answered

Confirmed IUR will not be available to run the business. “That will go away”

9800 new partners joint every month.

Overall partner business for Microsoft can’t sustain the cost for this.

Hey @stevemordue let’s talk about representing some of these underrepresented partners, if you’re interested.

WOW!! They are dropping off early. They completely skipped out of this call for sure. I get it but wow.

I wonder how many more were added to this petition after the end of the call?

If you were on this call and frustrated you weren't heard, I'm working with my #IAMCP chapter to gather feedback and bring recurring themes to Microsoft's attention. Anyone can fill out a question/comment here, and I'll work to compile responses: forms.office.com/FormsPro/Pages…
