A question for Fuad ... Sorry for taking your time, Fuad. Can we post an option and vote for someone else's at the same time?

This series of questions raises questions Although this series of questions does not violate any site rules, it looks like an entire translation job being dumped here, parceled out methodically, one piece at a time, from beginning to end, to be translated online by contributors, rather than by the translator to whom the job was assigned. I believe that this is contrary to the purpose of this site, which is to provide a mechanism for collaboration and mutual assistance when a translator encouters a difficult term or a difficult linguistic point. If the difficult is with the assignment as a whole, then the professional thing to do is to decline the assignment, not to have it re-assigned piecemeal online. This series of questions also raises a question about the adequacy of the current site rules and to what extent they promote or hinder professionalism, but that is a different discussion for another day.
