To be fair, I would then require the proposal to survive a third year, going through its own process and being submitted to the members of the third year Worldcon
This sounds fair, in that popular ratification imposes a publication and mail handling burden on each Worldcon, when it might be that only regular BM attendees would take part. The resulting expense would be wasted if its only purpose was to make it so that people who did not ordinarily attend the BM could participate. But the other purpose is to free up time at BMs, and it looks from here like many of the problems people have making themselves heard at BMs stem from optimizations the BM has made to save on time.
