(I prefer to call anonymous ledger as blockchain and permission-based ledger as ledger, to distinguish the two)

in addition to Mark's comment: I wonder what you see as the necessity of using an immutable ledger in this context?  
A ledger could serve as a logger.
But it sounds like you were thinking using it for communication among involved parties?  how "real time" would the design get?
