I want to get your feedback before I set the calendar up for next year. Let's do some brainstorming.
History
As you know and voted on, we decided to back from the experimental slower-paced (2:1 Monthly IC-OOC) calendar to the traditional (1:1 Yearly IC-OOC) calendar. In order to align the months, we did this at a point that allowed us to have a faster-paced (1:1 Monthly IC-OOC) Calendar for YE 44.
New Opportunities
Next year will be YE 45 in the RP, and the question is how do we want to allocate our 9 months of IC time into 12 months of IRL time. There's a couple of different ways and options we could do this:
The biggest reason we went back to the 1:1 Year calendar was to line up holidays so we want to make sure that IC and OOC holidays will more or less match, and we want to include events for all IC holidays in our plans/YE 45 Calendar.
What are your ideas or thoughts on these ideas?

- Just divide it evenly using a spreadsheet like we used to (I always found this a little awkward)
- Give some IC months extended or double time, for example if we know there will be a lot happening in them such as major IC events or holidays
- Give each month 1 month OOC, and then use the remaining 3 for some other purpose
- non-contiguous calendar months, maybe 'flashbacks' from earlier years or something
- wildcard months where you just write whatever you need to catch up on
