I think September would be more difficult for students and academics, as the semester/term starts up in early September in many places (at least in North America).   Though, I think in the UK, the academic term normally starts in October.

The guidelines for 2009 bidding cities said "July to mid-August"

For 2010 might we be able to push the window wider into early
September, as it seems there will be a lot greater availability of
accommodation then (at least in Oxford). Does anyone have any idea how
much pushing it back into early September would aversely affect
attendance? Are there any other reasons for the old July to mid-August
guidelines?

Thanks,

Tom
