Kaz, We have no immediate plans to offer second level .name domains at this time. Market demand has proven less than worthwhile with respect to .name.
(Scary fact) We have way more resellers than we do .name domains registered. That is not a viable indicator of that TLD's success. Should demand increase we will reconsider, however I am not inclined to devote further resources to this TLD since the ROI is deep in the negative.

Though many of registrars activate the second level of ".name", OpenSRS/tucows had not yet been available. When will you, OpenSRS/tucows, accept second level of ".name" domain?
