Combine ALMS and LMES ?

The idea hit me yesterday, Why not combine series? LMES has a lot of cars to help fill out the field, and ALMS has Sebring and a larger tv audience. Both LMES And ALMS are under ACO rules, so the cars could run w/o mods. It would be like a world championship of endurance racing, with events in Europe the Americas, maybe even Asia. There are only two problems. 1. The events: in the AlMS you have mostly a bunch of short events, and the LMES has some long events. For the unification scheme to work you would need to cut some events, to have a doable schedule, and have a mix of 2:45, 6, 12 hour races, and why not get the ACO to make the Le Mans a sanctioned too. The other issue would be cost. Transcontinental travel would make it more expensive to race, and more cars makes it harder to win $$$.
But I think that this idea has a lot to offer, primarily more competition and larger tv audience with Europeans and Americans watching the events as they do Le Mans.
Just seing thous corvettes walk away with no competition at mosport, then seeing all those red Ferraris at the nurburgring made me think. And only 2 P2 entries at mosport was pitiful!
SO what do you guys think, is this doable, beneficial...?
