Is there a GRAMMAR mistake.... There's a spelling mistake in the question. "I suggest our starting as soon as possible," is a rather colloquial/informal way of saying it. Some people here in England do say it that way. I've said it myself! I suggest that you stick to the other examples you have mentioned. They are better.

You are right. As you say, there is a grammar mistake in that sentence. (NB note my correction of your question). Either 'I suggest we start..' or 'I suggest starting..' would be correct.
