Who should be able to edit the pad(s)? I suppose this might be where the "co-GM" concept makes sense.

Need some general thoughts/advice on where to take it.

At worst, it's just a chatbox with collaborative griefing. :lol

I dunno if I like the idea of the Etherpad being RP-wide. I'd rather see integration into PM conversations. 

If you are going to make it RP-wide, then a GM/Co-GM might have the ability to check off the following permissions:

* GM only (Co-GM obviously can't set)
* GM & Co-GM(s)
* All RP participants (defined by posting in IC/Character thread to avoid casual OOC commenters)
* All Guild members
* Specific people (with textbox to enter comma-delimited usernames)

That's a fair few permissions, but it should cover the wide range of needs. It could probably be paired down to remove GM-only and Specific people if feature creep avoidance kicks in.
