Having lived and worked in Europe (the continent not the UK), the Middle
East, and in Asia, I sympathize. This list has a preponderance of US, UK,
Australian, and NZ practitioners articulate in the Queen's English. You
may have an advantage, however, in that you may be forced to focus on the
most essential issue and post in a paragraph what we might take a page to
accomplish.

Admittedly, I read your proposal quickly but it had the smack of a
demanding administration burden -- and it's already high on a
well-moderated list such as this one. I am a sysop (moderator) on
CompuServe and it gets difficult when "threads" or conversations start to
spill between sections -- and we already do not have a "thread tree" tool
in this listserv to easily track the to-from traffic.
But please stay with us and add a European point of view.
[Host's Note: We do have a "thread tree" on learning-org, but only on the
web pages and it's limited to one month's msgs at a time. ...Rick]
