There is no such thing as the “official” Article V page. There are a host of groups interested in an Article V Convention, COS, Convention of States, and ASL, Assembly of State Legislatures, and I contend this is not the way to restore the Constitution to it’s rightful place. Only the Sovereign States have the power to do so, and unfortunately there is no will, as long as Washington is holding the purse strings.

Exactly. This convention talk and sponsored efforts are all based on reading of Article V - one SENTENCE (a long one, but one nonetheless).

There are only requirements to convene, not conduct thereof save the final ‘approval’ by the required number of legislatures.

To my mind, there are several states which I would definitely not want to be in one: California and New York to name a couple. There’s no telling the untold havoc they could create.
