ICANN has always been a bit of a lightning rod for domain registrars, and this announcement has cuased yet more ripples.
I still think that it would be unlikely that someone would be able to poach your domain name, especially if you are doing business under that name.
also, as already stated, there are limited domains that are effected by this policy. Still, the best thing you can do is contact your regsitrar and ensure that your domain will, under no circumstances, be transferred without your expressed consent. If they refuse to gaurantee this, transfer the domain yourself to a registrar that will do this for you, and they are out there.
Due diligence.
Peace,
Pierre
