I agree pretty much and I assume that 70% and 50% are just off the cuff 
guestimations for now, but I want to add that en-CA and en-GB should 
probably be made exceptions to any completeness threshold. They may 
require less work since the principle differences are spellings of 
certain words and not so much in usage. Depending on how the 
completeness is calculated, I'd expect these two translations to be less 
complete than others.

The above is likely true for any en-* variation that may crop up later.

As for the translations coordinator position, that sounds like a good 
idea to me.
