Excellent ideas.
One thing I would point out however is that we need to save the powder for when it will have the best effect.
Currently this stuff is in what might be described an early committee stage within EASA. These committees are stuffed with highly prejudiced people who are for the most part out of touch with GA - even if they ever were in touch with it.
Fortunately, these committees, whose representatives are not elected and whose makeup we cannot hope to influence anyway, are not the most harmful stage of the legislative process. It is what comes afterwards.
Let me also add this is all tied up with the N-reg issue, because the FAA option would be a natural escape route for the more determined IMC Rating holders. So if you fly an N-reg or know somebody who does, this affects them too. The two issues are closely linked.
