There is nothing clearly stopping the promotor from doing so by simply saying it has an ID. The only requirement is that proposals must have IDs once distributed.
I do, however, encourage the promotor not to do so. It causes unnecessary confusion when proposals may be withdrawn and therefore leave a gap in the numbering. This however is not forbidden, as there is nothing stating what numbering scheme must be used. Although e should not, the promotor could, hypothetically, number every proposal 1 or skip numbers as they please. Therefore, leaving gaps in the numbering by allowing withdrawn proposals to have IDs is not disallowed. Therefore, based on these arguments, I rule TRUE.
