"TENS of new TLDs" and 5 Registries ? 2 Each ?
This is going to be just like the NFL and the NBA. The 5 Registries will all line up to make their first-round draft pick.
VeryBlind takes .COM in the first round NewStar takes .NET Asilliness takes .ORG Esther takes .PRO Mike takes .XXX
Yep, that is competition all right. Now, in the second round the above 5 choose again.

At this stage of the game, why would anyone with an ounce of clue be suggesting that people allow ICANN to get their claws on a TLD ?
Do you really want to see ICANN ruin 20 TLDs at a time ?
ICANN was created by the U.S. Government to do some market trials, not to become a regulator operated by a bunch of Jon Postel groupies. Those days are over. Go find a naive country if you want to play that game.
Please allow new TLDs to grow and old TLDs to be RE-LAUNCHED. Allow the second-level name owners from the market trials to migrate if they want or fade away. They can choose.
Think of it like broadcast TV and cable TV. Some stations may migrate and some may not. New channels will also emerge. ICANN will not be helpful in any of those evolutions. Consumers will drive demand, not ICANN, via regulated supply.
