Ratification is when we take a document and say "this is true", and it becomes true, regardless of what the actual truth was beforehand. So we can make sure the ruleset is a certain thing, or the list of players is a certain thing, or the proposal pool is a certain thing, by ratifying it. This lets us eliminate ambiguity when there's some kind of problem. A lot of reports are ratified automatically on a regular basis, if nobody challenges them (e.g. with a CoE).
