Regarding the difficulties finding free dates in January it seems to me there has been a bit of 'over-focus' on this month.
The answer is simply to find a date between November and mid January, which covers about 8 – 9 usable weeks allowing for a 3 week break at Xmas/New Year. Set the start as the first weekend in November and a date in January as the latest by which a match must be played.
As a rigid setinmyways chess player this proposal is simply too flexible for me to contemplate.
