Hi Gabriel, I understand what you are saying mate, but the 'seasonal' aspect is not really relevant in the review system because each assessment period is for the preceding TWELVE MONTH period!
What this means is, there will always be both 'in season' and 'out of season' aspects in equal amounts to each review period. Can you understand what I am saying?
In the northern hemisphere in a January assessment you will have half of two winter quarters and one entire summer quarter. In a July assessment you will have half of two summer quarters and an entire winter quarter. In the April and October assessments you get equally a full summer quarter and a full winter quarter.
I agree with you that longer term stays will have an impact on your ability to complete the required amount of stays in the asessment period, but I really don't thing seasonal factors are relevant!
I would love a bit of that Greek Island warmth right now Gabriel....it's bloody freezing down here in OZ!
Cheers.....Rob
