Hmmmmm No sir, I don't like it! In the end where this is headed is that if you belong to their group then they will legitimize any messages that you send... then they will use their combined resources to loby and otherwise "make it a bad thing" for you to do any kind of filtering to their messages.
The problem I see with this is that the receiver eventually loses control and power over that decision migrates toward those who have the money to pay for access. In my view it is another form of the sender-pays line of thinking - but worse because the "paying" part is downplayed. A tip-off is that the counter to this argument is up-front in their proposal. Specifically that they will create and manage a mechanism that tracks the end-user's subscrbe/unsubscribe requests... I think this is a lot like putting the foxes in charge of the hen house.
