Question regarding common modulus on elliptic curve cryptosystems

Sounds like a bad idea -- at a minimum, your encryption will be 
deterministic.

What are you actually trying to achieve? Usually once you understand that, 
you can find a protocol solving your problem already in the crypto 
literature.
