Yes, and yes. It's a follow-on to his earlier Millennium Club (2005, iirc).

Well, it depends. I played our version of the Millennium Club (weak NT) for about 8 years and was reasonably satisfied with it (except we eliminated the 2♣ rebid asking for controls and substituted 2♦).
Have been playing the revised version for about 4 months with a strong NT (increases the number of 1♣ openings since 11-14 is somewhat frequent). The system continues to use the 2♣ rebid as a control ask (after opening 1♣) and any 1-level response. This is a nice convention (was also part of Millennium Club).
There are some non-logical follow-ons and 1NT response to any 1-bid is a GF Relay. This makes bidding after opening 1M (5cds) somewhat problematic.
However, the relay system is simple (with transfers also) and works reasonably well.
