name holdersTake the domain name xtra.nz. Currently xtra.co.nz and xtra.geek.nz
have the same name at the third level, no-one will be able to register
that name at the second level unless they obtain the consent of the
other third level name holders"
are registered by different registrants. This means unless the two
parties agree*, xtra.nz isn't going to be able to be registered.
Meanwhile, other ISPs will be able to use their 2LD. This is discussed
in section 8.2 of the document, but no viable resolution is offered
If we were doing this process in the mid 90s, I would have thought it
was a good idea. The Internet was young, and still mainly used by
geeks. In 2012, it is not.
The only country I'm aware of that dropped 2LD was Canada (where the
second level was a providence, not a type). Canada finally stopped
accepting them in 2010. No other 'big' countries have done it to my
knowledge.

* to remain on topic, I can see a lot of beers being exchanged between
these registrants.
