To further drive home my point, I would say look at the skill Use Magic Device. Under this skill it specifically states that you cannot take 10 on this skill.

Therefore, if they intended on knowledge skills having the same restriction, they would have put this same special restriction under the knowledge skill.

If you read the Core Rulebook section on taking 10 you can clearly see that you can indeed take 10 on a Knowledge check as long as you are not under duress.

The special ability of the bard allows you to take 10 while under duress. This is for those who are in combat and who want to glean information on a creatures abilities. This means that a bard can take 10 in combat to figure out what a dragon can do, while a regular old wizard who just picked up knowledge skills still has to roll while in combat.

Please let me know when you find the rule that says you cannot take 10 on knowledge skills outside of combat...

Personally I think they should coordinate with their Venture Captains/Lieutenants to organize events based around when these timelines for racial boons are set. So if they say the month of March is the month of the Catfolk. Then that means that the Venture captains must organize at least one event where the scenario is run. Give out a month in advance warning so that the Venture captains can send out invites and get things ready.

As far as who gets the racial boons. I don't see why you wouldn't just give the boons out to those who attended these events. I honestly don't understand why racial boons need to be so insanely rare.

I'd think that templates would be more of the super rare boons that people could get. How bad ass would it be to get the half-dragon template after being the sole winning group of an event at paizo con. I think having a 10% chance to get a catfolk is a bit lackluster IMO.
