FR~
While the list is not really for me - not entirely, anyway - I actually rather like the fact that his responsibilities are more vague than hers. He seems to know exactly what he wants and expects and lays it out (very) specifically. But he leaves himself open to change and adapt in his behavior, hopefully according to what she needs and what works best for them both.
I don't think I would ever, ever expect my dominant to have as specific a list of responsibilities as I do. Though I wouldn't feel comfortable with a list like the OP has, I would certainly be comfortable with some sort of "list" of expectations, even if not written down in list form. The whole point is that I want a relationship in which I am serving his needs, first and foremost (which, ultimately, satisfies mine). Certainly, it needs to be the right match, with the right man, and with the right communication, and the right amount of fun and laughter and love and lightness, but...no, I would not expect that his responsibilities toward me need to be as specific and expected past what the OP listed, such as taking care of me and keeping me safe, etc.
The bracelet idea bothers me quite a bit. Why not just...you know...talk?
Housework rules seem normal to me, though I would like to think that if I was comfy on the couch snuggled under a blanket with the cat watching a great movie, the ironing could wait an hour or two. As long as it gets done within a reasonable time - no reason to stop a person from enjoying herself entirely.
I'm curious - why the block letters in the binder? ETA - never mind - I see now it's not all block letters.
And you know what? For some reason, I love the idea of writing the weather on the mirror. It seems so...helpful. Practical. That was my favorite part of the list.
