 CoE: not that either of these would have any effect due to
 insufficient AI, but these proposals with these purported AIs never
 existed and thus weren't distributed.

 Actually, I'm pretty sure these proposals were still validly
 distributed, even with the incorrectly listed AI, because nobody CoEd
 the distribution within 7 days.  They proceeded to fail.

Purported distributions don't self-ratify.  Purported resolutions do
(R2034), including (for decisions on proposals) the implicit claim that
the proposal exists.

The rule which would invalidate it for missing essential parameters is
R107, which includes the lack is correctly identified within one
week clause.

Hm, not exactly.  For a Decision to be initiated by R107, both:
(1) The initiator must be authorized to initiate it;
(2) The essential parameters must be included.

The essential parameters ratify if not identified.  However, the fact 
that the initiator is/isn't authorized to initiate a particular
decision isn't an essential parameter.  Since the Promotor isn't 
authorized to initiate a decision for a nonexistent proposal, that
part doesn't ratify.

But I (arguably) clearly identified the proposal I was referring to,
so it was an attempt to initiate a decision for the correct proposal
without (correct) essential parameters, not an imaginary duplicate
proposal with AI 1.

Followup:  From R1607, the Promotor CANNOT distribute a proposal that is 
not in the proposal pool, so is clearly not authorized to do so.  And that 
failure looks platonic and not subject to ratification.

A rewrite would put permission on the ratifiable side:

Amend R107:
 - by deleting 'authorized to initiate it' from the first paragraph;

 - by inserting the following paragraph between paragraphs (a) and (b):
   (b) the mechanism by which the initiator is authorized by the Rules to
   initiate the Decision (for example, As Promotor, I distribute
   the following distributable proposal).

 - by relettering paragraphs (a) through (e) to be (a) through (f) in
   sequence.

  -G.

Ah yes, I was coming in late and responding to the general question
on attempts to initiate nonexistent proposals.  I agree with you that
this situation is existing proposal/incorrect parameter.
