Hi Doug, There isn't a way to restrict groups like you're requesting. Have you experienced lots of issues with conflicting namespaces? I've not seen a lot of times where users were unable to get a namespace because a group had already taken it. If it's not happening often you can potentially handle each case separately - ask the group to give up their namespace or something.
