In any case, If there are new Globalists who can confirm how it actually works that would be good. The ........ about such a rule is that it would leave the Globalist during an important period (Christmas / New Years) the following year without any DSU's and that SUCKS big time.

I requalified in May and have TSUs that expire in May next year as well as the 4 that ex-diamonds got expiring in Feb next year. Actually, I requalified in Feb with 25 stays too but Hyatt didn't seem to notice that. At the moment I am a little disadvanted in that I couldn't try and use a TSU for July 2018, however someone who qualified after me, in, say August this year, would be able to book. I don't think qualifying later should come with any advantages over someone who qualifies earlier.
Anyway, I'll have lifetime status in a few weeks so I don't suppose it will bother me after that.

No, it's the time of achieving it. If I stay 60 nights in Jan, Feb and March of 2018, I achieve Globalist status for the rest of 2018 and all of 2019. And I will at that point in time (not four months later, at the end of the year, or in Feb of 2019) receive four TSUs. These will then be valid for 12 months.

In several communications with Hyatt, I was told that if someone re-qualified as Diamond (under the old program, before the new rules) in the period 1-Jan-17 through 28-Feb-17, then that someone would become Globalist for 2017 and could re-qualify for Globalist with only 55 nights in 2017 for the program year 2018. Ostensibly, if this person had qualified with 50 nights exactly before 28-Feb-17, then s/he would only need 5 additional nights after 28-Feb-17 to qualify for Globalist in 2018. So based on what Hyatt told me, there are some people that can re-qualify for 2018 Globalist with only 55 nights in 2017.
Can someone explain "Globalist Lite?" Is this a term we're using for getting the non-cert benefits of Globalist (breakfast, club, etc.) but not the certificate-based benefits (TSU, free nights, etc.)?

Yes, this is the term for someone who has the status of globalist (from the 20 night promo, or whatever), but hasn't gotten the "60 night benefits" (such as TSU, free night, concierge).

I'm sure you're not the only one. First Hyatt made the rules themselves unduly complicated, then they failed to communicate the rules in a clear fashion. And now they've been implementing them haphazardly (see reports upthread of requals with less than 60 nights). A fail in every possible respect.

Just as a data point(s)
qualified on points in April (got TSU)
hit lifetime on points last month emailed and got no cat7/TSU (no tsu)
hit 60 nights (got another 4 TSU but no cat7??) asked PL agent if this is right or not as I suspect this is a IT fault.
think the system is wonky and inconsistent. I would assume based on T&C that everyone needs 60 nights / 100k to qualify (side from 20 night glob lite). If you qualified on 55 nights and Hyatt ops to pull it I think you may be SOL. Wouldn’t shock me if they manually are reviewing / extending glob based on the results in this thread.
Good luck getting an answer from hyatt.

There's a thread, complete with input from World of Hyatt.

Hmm.
Just got a status update email from Hyatt.
And yet, I was pretty sure that the denominator should have been 55.
