Publishing a new Canon

I have no grand illusions about publishing the Silm in a new fashion.
I think that if it could be completed before CRT dies and come to his attention there is something between
0-2% chance he might approve and pull the needed levers.
My real hope is that it gets done and I have it privately printed and bound in 3 green Volumes entitled 'Translations from the Elvish' and can read it to my daughters .
It could also circulate privately amongst ourselves and maybe become a version used to decide questions of canon or as a base for fan-fiction.
I suppose a few private copies could be made and sold at auction or conventions.But the real motive in my mind is to get as close to a final Silmarillion as JRRT would if he were trapped on an Island w/ the 77,UT and HoME and could not add a word to the writings ,only cut and paste.

H-I best wishes on your georgian translation endeavor!
