Then you must "earn" gold, just as you do today.

You will have 1 year in order to accumulate 180XP minimum to maintain Gold.

That has been asked, but no-body knows. Under the new scheme, there is no mechanism for extending membership that long; whether they will somehow make an exception for people that have managed to requalify to April 2020 before the new scheme comes in remains to be seen. (They may be able to recognise this via the XP conversion on the date of the changeover; or if this isn't enough to "roll over" to the following year, they may top you up in order to effectively achieve this. We don't know)
