Before we start throwing out alternative dates, let me provide
a brief summary of every timeframe that was mentioned or
considered and why those were summarily rejected or voted down.
Every possible 6-day span between mid-March and late May were
considered.

Are you aware that these are the dates of the NAB Convention, now
the largest convention in Las Vegas?
Before anybody seriously proposes this set of dates, please go back
and re-read what happened prior to DLV 2006 when we accidentally
scheduled DLV for the week of NAB and the b*tching about it when
people found that hotel rates were astronomical compared to
neighboring weeks.
Please go to the Discussion Forum list archives, sorted by date,
go to the very bottom and review the discussion.

The lead-off message in that thread is:

Which is more important, a few degrees cooler or hotel rates
that most of our gang can afford?
