By "broadcast scheme", this refers collectively to the peer-to-peer pairwise broadcast, or the "sender keys" optimisation on top of it. I think "broadcast scheme" is too generic and confusing. How about "p2p-broadcast", "full-broadcast", "sender-broadcast", or "member-broadcast"?
I also disagree with "Each participant will have its own different $plist_i$ which is able to broadcast too.". In all schemes, every member should eventually reach the same plist as everyone else. In all schemes, there will be a period where different members have different plists - e.g. even in the GKE case, some members will receive the final round of the GKE earlier than others, so switch to the new plist earlier than those others.
