When the COS project reaches around 30 state applications, expect maneuvering in Congress to authorize Congress to supervise and even hijack the process.

I think the Constitutional argument has to be that Congress already has sole Article V power to propose amendments, so any intrusion on state powers to propose amendments would have been considered by the Framers to be redundant and against the doctrines of separation of powers and checks and balances.
