The guidelines for 2009 bidding cities said "July to mid-August" (though it's ended up being end of 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?
Please don't. I'm already eating myself over the fact that I cannot come this year, because it's too late in the summer/winter (some have academic terms earlier). Late July/early August turned out to be quite good period, so let's not move away too much from it.
