I think the point is: maybe it would also have advantages for other
countries to do the contest in different times, duration, etc., but we
decided as a group to have it simultaneously for logistic, promotional and
fairness reasons.
Perhaps Commons will get more and better pictures from Switzerland, but we
need to take into account the bias that this will introduce to the European
contest, as Swiss participants will have more time to upload photos if
photos from all three months are entered.

I just want to make some point clear:
*WMCH support the european WLM contest and will help every chapter needing
us
*the format of the swiss contest need to be on a 3 summer month basis
because:
**weather could be howfull in september in lot of region of switzerland,
other wmch member have fun of me because I can't see the sky because of the
fog! :-)
**we are building interaction with cantonal institutions in charge of swiss
heritage, if we succeed in our goal of covering 50% of the 4800 target
monuments, the 2012 edition will be a full collaboration with all of this
cantonal institutions
**the wlm contest is part of the TAO project with the colaboration with
seniroweb.ch, this include the organisation of local event as organised
travel in region with a photgraphic "safari" folowed by workso to explain
the uploading process. For this type of event we need time, we can't do it
in one month, or it will be only for elderly people that are already
confident with pictures and internet
Sincerely
Charles

I must say that I am very unhappy about this phrase: "... the Swiss
contest will have place in September because someone in Berlin has
decided differently".
This is not what I think, but this is the justification to give to
some important partners and to the organization.
Do you have a different one? Another different from: "... the Swiss
contest will have place in September because *we* have decided
differently".
