oneworld Explorer minimum stay rule
Hello from a first-time poster.
I am considering the oneworld RTW product for three full months of summer travel, but the 10 day min stay requirement will seriously impact the flexibility of my itinerary.
Is there any way around that requirement? Is anyone aware of a waiver?
(I am EXP with ~400K miles)

eg SYD-NRT-LHR-FRA-JFK-LAX-SYD
I can spend as long as I want in Tokyo, London, Frankfurt, New York and Los Angeles as I want, as long as there is at least 10 days between leaving and returning to Sydney.

I think Himeno gave you the correct answer.
In case you really wan tto do a RTW in less than 10 days: there is a way around;
Instead of doing JFK-LHR-HKG-NRT-LAX-JFK (as an example) you can do
JFK-LHR-HKG-NRT-LAX-BOS, then later BOS-SFO-JFK. Buy a BOS-NYC as a seperate ticket. You have a second (almost free) trip and get around the 10 days minimum.

As others have said, its 10 days for the trip, not per stop. And even then, there are some scenarios where you don't even have the minimum of 10 days if you really want to do it in less.
