Julius, the issue is going to be twofold.

Firstly, how the domains are used. If their gTLD string creates a common community identity of the domain name holders or mainly a alternate naming string.

Secondly, how the search engines will approach the problem of tens of millions of new domains to index.

With regard to ICM Registry and .XXX The questionable political concerns about adult content are still there but so far really haven't materialized to any real threat. With the advent of all of these new gTLD strings the value of owning a .xxx may be evaluated better.

One of the concerns of ICCAN is the new Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) there will be no need if you own a trademark to multiple register cross domains. Your trademarked name in these new 800+ gTLDs http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/t...-clearinghouse will be protected from infringement. There are a lot of registration rules changes coming with the new gTLDs.

If anyone is a real stakeholder do some reading at the above ICANN link ...
