Probably have to set the initial 'rules' with truly non-controversial things (thall shalt not use stolen content, thou shalt not spam, thou shalt not promote/reference CP, etc.). Once there is a greater number of members, more controversial stuff could be tackled to ensure a representative cross section agrees.
Preferably I wouldn't envision controversial items to come up much. Something like 90% agreement and it becomes a 'rule', 66% agreement and it becomes a 'preferred practice'. Would have to lock away personal preferences at times in order to ensure the highest levels of participation.
This idea is a little US-centric, but I'd also like to see something whereby a portion of dues would be used to retain one of these first amendment lawyers. In the event a member gets arrested on obscenity charges or something similar relating to their online porn operation, a *knowledgable* lawyer will provide the *initial consultation* free of charge (as trade group has them retained). Not all webmasters can afford to retain one of these lawyers and I'd personally pay $25-$50 a year in dues just to know if I did unexpectedly get busted, my family or I could talk to someone who knows whats up. Call it "porn lawyer insurance". Also nice for the Feds to know if they picked me at random to hit, I'd have a top-notch 1st amendment lawyer advising me. Don't know how something like this would work across international lines, but assume it could be worked on.
I really think something like this is do-able and would benefit many.
