Thanks for the excellent discussions. 
 
My 2 cents:  I agree with Hank below and I'd make the same comment re: the NA Sprint. 
 
This year we had a direct conflict with CO QP.
 
Based on the calendar review I sent around this morning, N3JT's review last week, and avoidance of YODX, I view 23 AUG 14 as the best compromise.  OH, HI, are definite conflicts.  KS might be a conflict, and W0BH would know.  Tokyo Ham Fair is a definite conflict and the only international conflict I can see.  I think that the Tokyo Ham Fair conflict is unfortunate and significant.
 
However, given our current demographics, I think that these conflicts are secondary in relation to the NA Sprint.  Please recall that I sent an analysis last week that showed 47% of 2013 CWO logs were from folks that sent in logs for NA Sprint.  I can't be sure, but many of those folks may choose to sit out the CW Open if the times are close.  Just some thoughts.
 
I have not studied 20 SEP 14 in detail, so I cannot comment on that date.

I don't think CWO and CW Sprint same weekend is a good thing. For me at least, it would mean that I would put less emphasis on CWO. 

 
CQWW RTTY weekend is a nonstarter.

 
To me, the least of all evils and best for CWops is to unfortunately conflict with SAC CW and some state QSO parties.
