Maybe the policy has discouraged people from registering
trademarked names. This of course is just a hypothesis. It
would be difficult to substantiate.

Thanks for the info, Chuck. Very interesting, really.
Considering the large
increase over time in registrations, it's surprising that
the policy hasn't
been invoked ever more frequently as well. Any explanation
for this? Two
that could be suggested are: 1) The policy has tended to
discourage people;
2) The number of free domains of any value to resellers has
diminished.
Somehow, I don't think either of these is the answer. Any
ideas?
