Prior to that there will be a period whereby potential registrants that have Intellectual Property interests in specific names can come forward to register that interest in those names and such names will be equitably allocated and subject to a recognized dispute resolution policy , where more than one party makes a claim over a particular domain name. There will be continual updates on our website containing plenty of notice to make sure all would-be registrants have appropriate time to prepare and make any necessary."

Whew.... thats reassuring! I get to eat crow today.. My prediction of worthless domains is wrong.

Now we wait and see if the US government forces all Adult Entertainment to the .xxx extention.
