Hi, I don't think it would be necessary to organize it in may per se. However, I do think we should only organize one major international competition at a time in September. So there has to be a choice. You could even stretch it to two months, and let countries pick (august/september) a month.
While countries are needed to organize it successfully (very much!) you will also need a dedicated international team of 5-7 people to coordinate everything, assuming it will be more than 10 countries. It is quite a bit of work :) Especially, on the technical side a good (and better) coordination is required to make sure things are ready in time. Without an international team, I don't see an international competition happening. Of course you could try to organize a national competition anyway (nothing prohibits that really), but you'll have to do some of the stuff the international community picked up in the past years yourself.
