I’m not so sure it self-ratified, actually.

1551/21 reads, in part: {
An internally inconsistent document generally cannot be ratified; however, if 
such a document can be divided into a summary section and a main section, where 
the only purpose of the summary section is to summarize information in the main 
section, and the main section is internally consistent, ratification of the 
document proceeds as if it contained only the main section.
}

1607/47 reads, in part: {
The Promotor's report includes a list of all proposals in the Proposal Pool, 
along with their text and attributes. This portion of a public document 
purporting to be a Promotor's report is self-ratifying.
}

The Promotor’s message listed the attributes twice, and the text once, of each 
proposal. So this depends on what “this portion” means: does it mean the list 
at the top as well as the full proposals below, or just the full proposals 
below?

If it means just the full proposals, then the proposal ratified at AI 1.

If it means both, then we’ve got an internally inconsistent document, according 
to the 1551 clause I quoted. The question, then, is whether or not the 
"document can be divided into a summary section and a main section, where the 
only purpose of the summary section is to summarize information in the main 
section.” The key bit here is “only purpose”—the list at the top is actually 
part of another action (“I hereby distribute each listed proposal…”), but that 
action isn’t part of the self-ratifying document, so maybe in this context it 
only serves on purpose?

If the “summary” clause applies, then it ratified at AI 1.

If not, the document is internally inconsistent and didn’t ratify at all.
