I don't believe there is such a listing.

These links might help...

From what I understand, there is a publicly recognized ranking system thru the JKF but it is seperate from the ranks within your own organization.

I also believe that we join as individuals and not as groups of people. So we don't join as "Bob's Dojo" or the "Ultimate karate association", etc. I am sure there is a way to connect the person to a group, but the membership is based on an individual.

And so they might have a listing of those "recognized" ranks but not from each style or association...

Good luck with your search.
