Without getting into the value discussion, I wanted to
note there's an
official meta-registry called the Trademark Clearinghouse, in which owners
of registered trademarks can block/reserve (as opposed to register) their
marks in all the new gTLDs, so they don't get squatted. The protection fee
at TMCH costs around $150/year/mark:

I have an IP lawyer friend helping people with this new gTLD stuff if
Wikimedia needs advice or help getting registered with the TMCH.

I believe there is a period of time before these TLDs go live when
trademark holders are supposed to register and
that they want to acquire.
Wonder if that means they loose the rights when that period ends.
Suspect
not.
Herein lies the probem: supposed to register. See Brion's earlier
comment
about this all being an awful scam.
