I hope they clarify that soon. If so I would qualify for gold applying the new rules to the current year. Due to a number of US & Chinese domestic flights, I would would be 12 XPs short (I ended up gold after 32 segments this year) if they count as domestic under the new rules (even though five of them were over 1,000 miles).
