- A higher weight threshold for the UAS registration requirement, for fixed-wing aircraft flown within visual line of sight
- Provision for "modular means of compliance" -- drop-in RID compliant components that a builder can install himself. The burden of "proof of compliance" being on the MANUFACTURER, where it belongs.
I actually agree with two of those. The rest, IMO, are non-starters because the stated goal of FAA is eventually EVERYTHING will have remote id. As the first several do not ultimately lead to that goal, I believe the FAA will reject such suggestions.

However, the modular compliance is the long term solution. I can support that.
