We have no way of knowing if this is something IHG are actively considering or persuing, and don't even know if doc was created by a summer intern as a project or is a real doc of intent produced by a proper IHG employee

3)At the moment empirical evidence points to it being that requal/qual for RA is still on nights 75/30/3

4)We also know on 1st Sep 2016 AMEA Amb/RA terms were slightly rewritten, and most of us expect some similar rewrite of remaining geography IC's terms to bev released soon

5)A whole bunch of Spire RA's (maybe apire Amb's) renewing in Sep/Oct/Nov 2015 could not be sent new RA packs. The packs were belatedly sent out circa Mar2016 with affected RA's getting a foc +3month adjustment to their RA/Amb year expiry's


nb
loads of other speculation, which is exactly that.... speculation ...
many opinions/guesses as to how IHG will move RAs from nights->dollar criteria and if eg all RA/Amb elites will have years aligned to a Calendar year in future.

5)Everything else is speculation
