Hi Nico,
Some remarks:
* The press release states that the competition runs from Juli to
September. The decision in Berlin was pretty clear: The
competition runs in September. Why are you doing this differently?
* You're talking about a national competition, but Wiki Loves
Monuments is an international competition all throughout Europe.
* Why do people need to register at http://www.wikilovesmonuments.ch/login.php
? That's one of the things we decided (at the Berlin meeting)
*not* to do.

Dear Maarten,
I will give to Nico the possibility to reply to other points. I have
only one concern.
If the event is limited only to the month of September, this would
be not helpful for Switzerland because the weather is not good to
take some external pictures, most of all for mountains or valleys.
In addition we are moving earlier to find collaborations and media
coverage.
In my opinion there should be no problem to give more freedom to all
countries in order to study the better solution for their own
environment.
To limit the event to the month of September will reduce a lot our
participation as the persons will be concentrated in other thinks.
In my opinion the months of July and August are the best for
Switzerland.
We may found a solution that can match all requirements? For example
that the photos can be taken from July to September but charged in
Commons only in September?
It seems to me a good solution, because the persons can spent all
time to take photos during the Summer and after to be concentrated
in all other work during September (selection of photos, upload, and
so on).

P.S. If I remember well Nico has already sent a request some weeks
ago, before the meeting in Berlin, asking to give to the Switzerland
the possibility to move earlier in this event, and I have seen no
opposition
