My understanding is that all current tlds (.com, .net, .org, etc) will be claimable once the service launches. In addition, everyone in the Alexa 100k will be able to claim their domain stripped of the tld, so example.com gets .example, root.com gets .root. Handshake is only handling top level domains - dns will continue to handle resolving of subdomains.

Icaan will continue to be relevant, this will just control all other tlds.

This is just my understanding after doing some reading last night - someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
