Any difference in nuance between “for easing restrictions” and “for easing of restrictions”?

"Verbal nouns are not the same as gerunds (another type of noun formed from a verb). A gerund is a noun that, having derived from a verb, retains a few verb-like properties. For example, a gerund can be modified by an adverb and can take a direct object."
