Well, if you require certain information to be placed on the web by all SLD
holders, presumably you want to make it as easy to find as possible, so
you'd require that it be at some specific place. The suggestions I can think
of are: "front page" for the SLD, "www" 3LD, a special 3LD, or some obvious
link on one of the above that takes you directly to the information.

For example, if my SLD were, say, payn.org, would you require me to put
contact information directly at "http://payn.org" or "http://www.payn.org"
or some special address like "http://info.payn.org" or
"http://contact.payn.org," or could I have it be one link away from those
places, or could it be anywhere that's reasonably easy to find?

I noticed that a few of the proposals for expanding the gTLD space required
an "info" SLD under each, and a web page for each reachable at both
"www.info.TLD" and "info.TLD" with certain specified information; I think
that what you're proposing is basically the same thing for SLDs, but I
wanted to make sure.

One thing you might want to add: The ISP or NSP currently providing
connectivity for the domain's email and primary web site. Also, you might
want the location of the entity holding the domain name to be there; this
would make it easier to determine where a complainant could file a suit
against the holder (presumably because of something objectionable on their
web site or in email).
