This reading is clearly impossible, due to what "the" means in English.
In order to force this reading, you'd have to write something like "81
times, I perform the following action: {{{ I submit the following
proposal: … }}}", which is a long way away from what you actually
wrote, and I don't think this is a plausible reading of what you
actually wrote (especially when it has a very clear natural meaning).
What you wrote is probably not what you actually meant to write, but
that doesn't have much of a bearing on how actions by announcement
work.
