The way I would deal with the squatters is that they have to
contribute/produce a product that uses that name within a given
time frame (1-2 years?)  What is produced should optionally be
reviewed, and at the registration committee's discretion, allow
the name to stand or be dropped (anything trivial or junky for
the purpose of squatting can be rejected this way).

Failure to "produce", obviously means that you give up the name.
A conflict resolution process will also likely need some
planning as well. But initially, it could just take the "might
is right" path ;-)
