It'll be a single round of new gTLDs. See the <a href="http://icann.org/topics/gtld-evaluation-process-16jun08.pdf" rel="nofollow">process flowchart</a> - the applications close before they are all reviewed in a big bunch. So all of these disputes can be raised in the process. ie, it's just like they did last time with .aero and .museum, except this time with an open call for suggestions. It’s not “selling” them.

Most consumers looking for a website will simply type the brand name or company name followed by '.com'. If this doesn't deliver them to the website they want they will try to find the site using Google (or other search engine). The ICANN decision will only benefit one company. The other issue is phishing. Companies and brand owners will need to register their names in every available TLD. The costs for registration and management will be exorbitant. Now lets imagine a consumer receiving an email from something@paypal.anything is going to lead to more phishing victims. Let's all try to explain to our Mothers that if it says it's from Ebay it might not be from Ebay. But it could be from Ebay if it's from was ebay.com. But not if it was from ebay.auctions. But it could be if it was from ebay.com.au. But be careful if it is from ebay.ng. Etc Etc. Just my two cents. Robert There are a number of issues that need to be considered here.
