If you want to add benefits for other members, CR-1's at 75k or unlimited earning of CR-1's, then I would support that whole-heartedly.
Then you should support the new CR1 rule because my impression is that this is precisely what has been offered: ANY member who reaches 75k EQM automatically gets 2 CR1s, and then 2 more after that for every 25K EQM without a limit on how many can be earned per Q or per yr. The implications are that (a) 1Ps will now be entitled to 2 CR1s [they had none before], (b) every 1K is guaranteed to get at least 4 CR1s (i.e., 50% of all they would have gotten under the old rule, which is pretty good because it is unlikely that every 1K traveled at least 10k UA/UX EQM every quarter), and (c) the true road-warriors who easily do 300k EQM a year can now rake in more CR1s than they can use a year. There is a net increase in CR1 benefits, IME (this is speculation based on limited data available to me from "real life").
