Now who gets first choice at *.shop or others?  There are going to
be many lawsuits. >>>>>


HUH?! 

Why would there be lawsuits because people own domains that get natural type-ins? Yes, they will be monetarily rewarded, just like a store owner who gets to establish himself on a bustling commercial boulevard is rewarded--if does something with his site.

Gee, I'm mighty sorry for the business owner of some shack out in the woods where no one ventures. . . but that's the way it goes. I have a handful of .coms that suck. No need to tell me how much that stinks.

But I came into the game late. A persons who snoozes, loses; or else waits for another TLD to open up, or gets a better domain in the respective TLD of his choice, or buys a strong domain from the existing registrant, or else curls up in a ball and hide under the bed.

The owner of IceCream.shop will be one lucky dude. . . but not in a capacity that will get him sued.

Presumably he will get the domain IceCream.shop because he will get there first.
       
Isn't that how it works?
