<>If you want to call a convention just for the purpose of having one, without any structure or common purpose, you will likely end up with a three-ring circus that produces nothing.<>

Delegates will be strictly controlled by state commissions. If a majority can't be found to agree on one or more amendments to send home, the convention will adjourn. No problem, right? But with our country headed into the arms of a police state, I doubt that would happen.

Avoid static analysis. What is all-important is the change in national attitudes a convention will bring about. The mindset of the nation will change, knowing that a regular convention of the sovereign states on behalf of the people exists to look over the shoulders of the Uniparty. Knowing that a periodic convention will be held will lift the morale of the American people, as well as serve as a warning to all statists in DC.

If Article V truly represents a societal right of the nation, (it does) there should be no reluctance to conduct annual conventions.

The American people will not sell themselves into slavery.

Delegates will be strictly controlled by state commissions.

I would prefer to see Delegates (a/k/a Commissioners) controlled by convention RULES that all state delegations (a/k/a state commissions) have sworn to uphold and submit to. Or is that a minor quibble?

I rarely do "static analysis," for the world is ever dynamically on the move, and thus refuses to reduce to "static analysis" for its full description. It is always more than what "static analysis" can describe.

I very strongly empathize with your sentiment that American society/citizen psychology would get a remarkable boost from a successful Article V COS. Just let's not get too far ahead of ourselves: FIRST we have to have a FIRST successful COS. That done, we know how to have another.

But again, FIRST you need a FIRST one. I would urge all those who care about their constitutional liberties to concentrate their efforts on forcing the necessary constitutional CALL, which comes only though Congress.

To do everything that can be done with that result clearly in view.

Subsequently, if we learn that the People of the Several States want to hold an annual COS, "to look over the shoulders of the Uniparty," well by then they will have learned how to successfully call one. So if they want one, they'll know how to get one.
