It's at least 1 year from the nomination date and then you drop to whatever status you are entitled to at that very moment (no soft landing to Silver).
If you are BAEC member, then it's up to 24 months. In your example - if his year ends on 01JUL14 and is given Partner Gold on 10JUL14, then he will retain Gold for the remaining of his
membership year (01JUL15) plus 12 months on the top of that (i.e. 01JUL16) without a need to earn single Tier Point.
