the company i'm working for has a growing list of domains for the company
and its trademarks.
i'm finding that i need to deal with a variety of registries and resellers and
whatnot in order to keep up.
are there resellers out there that have agreements with _most_ TLD registries?
i realize that i won't likely find a single reseller for all the TLD's, but
i'd like to switch from using 10 baskets to 2 or three.
it would be nice if they provided a control panel that we can use to administer
not only the domains we have through them, but also domains that are registered
elsewhere, but we want parked in a central location.

There are companies that specialize in this:

I have worked with the folks at MarkMonitor, and their acquisition
alldomains, and know a few of them personally. If you're looking for the
kind of "soup to nuts" domain management program that the OP described, I
would recommend them highly.

Unless they *use it* *in conjunction with a product or service name*
*in the appropriate line of business* *in a jurisdiction where you hold
trademark rights*, they're not infringing you, and registering the
string in 435 TLD's just to make sure they can't is the worst kind of
stupid.
If I can borrow from Randy, I encourage my competitors (and more importantly
the competitors of my clients) to operate in the manner you describe.

well, you know that, and i know that, but apparently senior management would
never take our word for it.
