This has been the best way for me to maintain my DM status and not having to stress over getting 40,000 MQDs (20,000 MQDs per year).
Interesting - how does this give your DM for two years? Isnt the waiver an annual occurrence? (also, because I am lame, what are "CBs" that you are getting every 2nd year please?
