"Congress is under no compulsion to accede"

From Article V: "...on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention..."

Shall - true. However, no time limit. The Congress could bottle it up in so many committees and subcommittees, it might never see the light of day.
