Maybe it's a good idea for 112 not to be a direct peer at an exchange point, but rather an origin prepended to the AS people would peer with. 

Anyway, to Matt's immediate problem, an autoresponder that points people at the list of participants and a description of the project seems like a reasonable solution. 

My mobile number (or a number that forwarded to my mobile) was once published in ARIN's whois as a contact for various AS112 resources. Those were fun times.
