This procedure is acceptable to me.

I think that it would be preferable (in point three) for it to be seconded by one other member, rather than two - as a mover and a seconder would still make up 10% of the Convention. That said, if someone can't find two people to second their motion, there's no way it's going to get passed anyway, so changing it from two seconders to one would make no real difference.

I'd like to add this:

The convention will only close when closure is agreed upon by 3/4 of the delegates

I agree. Though I have a horrible feeling we might loose a few delegates along the way

We should have a procedure to ask governors to name a new delegate if one is too inactive.

Perhaps if 75% of the Convention votes (ie, 15 delegates) in favour of the Governor of a region appointing a new delegate to replace an inactive one. That way we don't have to clearly define "inactivity" - we can simply leave it in the hands of the delegates because it unlikely 75% of delegates will agree if it's anything near being a controversial decision.
