Should mentoring earn recertification credit?

This came to us from the membership team, who report that mentors in the association's programme regularly ask whether their time counts towards recertification. At present it does not. Teaching a course earns credit, and so does writing for the journal, but mentoring earns nothing.

I am inclined to support it, with limits. My draft proposal is one credit for every five documented hours, capped at four credits per three-year cycle, for mentors only. The difficult part is evidence: what would we accept as proof that the mentoring took place and had professional content? I would like views before I put a motion to the meeting on the 9th.
