This stuff won't happen. For one, those rules would simply be unenforceable. #1-3 would create a huge bottleneck and immense expense. #4 is utterly pointless. And #5 would be impossible to monitor and enforce. It would be easy for clubs to register, but there's no way to police every soccer field where guys fly planes or nearly every spot on the planet where drones can take off and land. Second, there's no benefit. 3rd, drone pilots have become a significant demographic with some lobbying power, and this would effectively kill that hobby altogether. We may have something to worry about from other discussions at the FAA, but I don't think this particular set of ideas is going to be an issue.
