The name.tld started life as a 3-level TLD. Many people have individual abc.def.name domains (eg: my own robert.menschel.name).
If you strip that third level, that means that if someone registers spammer.menschel.name (which I have no control over), since I cannot register menschel.name), and spammer.menschel.name then gets added to your lists, my robert.menschel.name will be collateral damage.
I realize that since the .name TLD now accepts both 2-level and 3-level domains (2-level is OK if nobody owns a 3-level domain with that 2nd level), this may be a very complex issue.
