Part of what is allowing Worldcon to survive in extraordinary times is the extraordinary flexibility it is given by the lack of prescriptive rules like this. Would vote against if I were there

So if Chengdu (for example) announced that they were postponing their "2023" Worldcon until October 2024, you would have no objection to that? Seriously, how much flexibility do you want to give a Worldcon committee? How long can a Worldcon delay their convention before you pull the plug on them?

Remember that some of the operations of Worldcons are interlinked. If you delay a Worldcon long enough, you screw up the follow year's Worldcon. And if you hold it too early in they year, you wreck the Hugo Award calendar and give the members no time to read anything.
