well, then all hell breaks loose.
There will be a scramble for the good names and I'm sure many of them are already either preregistered or being held by ICM so they can sell them at a huge price. Following that there will be lawsuits and complaints registered to ICANN because of people squatting on domains. For example if I own a .com and you own the .net of the same name, which, if either, of us has the right to the .xxx? Will ICANN just give them to the .com owner? What if we have both spent a lot of time and money building up our businesses and then the government passes a law forcing all adult sites to use a .xxx and since I have the .com and got the .xxx version of my name I can forward the traffic, but you with the .net are just screwed.
I think the potential headaches of it will be huge and I would imagine some of these questions are things that they will be taking in to consideration when they vote.
