Live Presentation Hours

I'm reviewing the limitations for counting live presentation hours, as
this is an easy way for lots of LEED APs in my office to earn CE hours.
I see that up to 50% of required CE hours (30 hours -- we don't have
any LEED Green Associates in our office) for attending and presenting
combined may be counted. So this means 10 of those hours must be spent
developing content and presenting, since only 5 hours can be counted for
attending. So here's where I get confused -- If you are presenting,
can you count the 2 hours you spent developing content AS WELL AS the
hours you actually presented? So if you gave a 2-hour lecture to an AIA
chapter, you could count 4 hours (2 for developing content and 2 for
actually presenting)?
Please clarify and share your experiences
with this -- This would be a tremendous help to a lot of people in my
office that are struggling to find GBCI hours.

Credential Maintenance Guide
Hi Heather,
Do you have a copy of the Credential Maintenance Program Guide? It offers the most useful set of information yet.
I think you can only recieve 2 hours total for making a presentation (including prep time. Though I have not personally claimed hours (yet) for this type.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Here is the answer I got from Arnold Kee at GBCI:
"Yes. That’s now the hours can be broken up. Also, it is our intention that you fill out the rest of the 15 hours with additional presentations, and not the same one. Please let me know if the CMP guide spells that out…..if not, it means we have to add more clarification."
Then from Randall Coleman at GBCI:
"As a clarification, it’s up to 15 hours for presenting and 5 hours for attending. So in theory someone could get 20 hours from live presentations. The hours you get from developing content is within the limit of 15."
Very encouraging news.
So this means you can count two hours for prep and (up to) 2 hours for conducting the presentation? Possibly totaling 4 hours for making a presentation?
I'm skeptical about Randall's response since it clearly states in the guide that you can only earn 50% from presenting and attending combined, which would limit you to 15 hours no matter what.
