Look, I can't tell what you're arguing here. Whether or not it's a good thing to have, ratification doesn't have precedence over the proposal mechanism, and can't cause incorrect voting reports to make proposals be adopted. It's a straightforward conflict with R208, and R208 wins. How exactly does ratification get around a rule that directly contradicts it? -G.
