Agreed, it should be "doable".

Well, can something like NoCatAuth be made to work?  Or would some clever 
coder out there need to knock up a customised system to track users?

Given our decentralised nature, we'd want something that can check with a 
backend (perhaps located on the Internet), regardless of which node a 
member logged into, and some kind of access control system that runs on all 
major routing nodes, at least.

Might take a while to get going, but who knows what's possible.

I guess step 1 is determining the EXACT requirements for compliance with 
the relevant legislation and other guidelines.
