That's why the method of allocation that I (and others) propose is for N 
TLD slots to be made available per year (or whatever other unit of time 
might be convenient.)

I've suggested 10,000/year - most people shy away from that.

I've reduced that 40 fold to 250/year (or 1 per business day).

Personally I'd allow an inrush of some multiple of the yearly allocation 
to accomodate the fact that ICANN has sat on new TLDs for the better part 
of a decade.
