If these requirements had existed prior to to opening up of the domain name space to commercial enterprises, a lot of resources spent on combatting cubersquatting and other types of infringement would have been saved and better spent on reinvestment in the economy.

Actually, I would like to see the requirements apply to all levels of domain names - infirngement can happen at all levels. I don't think there is a distinction.
