34. It would be up to Congress to call and organize.

There would be some equitable proportionment among the states. Probably by electoral votes. States would decide who is in their delegation. The convention would decide who would lead the convention and the rules. If the convention goes off the rails, the blue states would just boycott and vote against the final product both during the convention and during the ratification process.
