See pages 17 - 20 of https://par.icann.org/files/paris/gTLDUpdateParis-23jun08.pdf

Is it fair to hand .ABC to either one of the two ? (highest bidder) or
will ICANN "lock" .ABC out so that neither can get to it ? I am sure
there are many such gTLDs around the world that would conflict across
countries.

See pages 22 - 25 of https://par.icann.org/files/paris/gTLDUpdateParis-23jun08.pdf

Finally, will there be any performance impact on DNS servers around the
world (thinking of caching issues) ?


Extremely unlikely (IMHO).
