The requirements already do.  The same protection provided for ALL
cases of infringement (as defined by the law, not by the whims of the
trademark holders and their attorneys).

Its called the legal process.  And it has nothing to do with the
technical details of managing the dns namespace.

Expecting searchable whois resources is a reasonable request, and I
support that suggestion of yours 100%.

If you want more protection for your marks than what the law allows,
then I suggest you write your Congressperson.
