Does this make it clearer???? If you have questions, please leave a comment and I'll answer them as best I can.
And, I recommend that you bookmark the page on the ICF website that has the requirements for your next credential and check it periodically. Download the sample application to see exactly what information you're required to provide.
Requirements have changed and are expected to change again in Spring 2014.
