It reads: "All rights reserved. Reproduction and dissemination of

I read this as: yes, we would need an explicit permission from them.

Should this proposal require prior authorization by FAO offices?

I think if you wanted to implement the FAO system you would need more
than one additional tag, so I suggest to make up a whole new proposal
to do this. Maybe you should also check if the FAO system is available
(copyright/licensing). Besides these problems I am in favour of the
FAO system, it seems well thought out.
