Let's see if I've got it right:

1. I have to re-qualify (i.e., get my 75 nights) in a calendar year, Jan 1 to Dec 31.

2. If I don't make it (might not this year) I drop down to whatever level I did qualify for.

3. However, for being upgraded to a higher level of status, they use the rolling 12-month window, and as soon as I get the required nights, I'm kicked back up.

I'm asking because I might only get to 65-70 nights by the end of the year, but I should get the rest in January. I won't actually need the status during the interim, but I just want to make sure it comes back.

Is this how it works?
