Thanks will do that.
Question : you said there were differences in the two documents that Congress would need to sort out. My question, if this is meant to bypass Congress do they (Congress)have the authority to decide? Or is it entirely up to the states as to how the amendment proposal gathering should be ordered?

Read the two documents. Then make a list of differences between the two philosophies. That in itself will explain a lot because the two documents take completely different views of the questions you have asked.
