I'm a pilot, so familiar with FAA rules.
The first 3 bulletin points are reasonable, but the last 3 are onerous for UAS operators. Not flying over people will mean not flying in cities, the point of commercial operators like Amazon.
Also, the FAA likes to grant licences so that then they will have power to revoke them at will. Fighting an FAA certificate revocation action is like trying to get off a no-fly list.
