Just a thought

 The squatters say they have prior-use intellectual property rights to the
 name. Whether or not this is true, let them believe it. However, I don't
 believe there is any way they can force themselves onto the root
 nameservers. So if worse comes to worse, ignore the squattor TLDs. Let
 them have their TLDs and their .01% market infiltration. Sure, maybe
 they can scare other registries away from the TLD names in questions,
 but can they sue the way onto the root nameservers?
