If you don't get the domain you want, who is refunding the application fee? and how long will it take to be refunded. Will the refund come from ICM or the domain register?

I'll have to get back to you on the auction process and it's timeframe. I believe that all auctions should be complete by General Availability on December 6th, but it's entirely possibly that that's wishful thinking.
The Landrush fee is split into two elements: 1. a non-refundable element and 2. the registration fee which is refundable in all cases for those failing to acquire a name.
We are expecting only 10% or less of Landrush applications to go to auction if this Landrush follows that of other TLD's. Please check with your registrar regarding refunds, but note, that we don't charge the registrar the registration fee portion until the domain is actually awarded, so refunds should be rapid from the registrar.

Also who is taking the liability if someone does win the domain at auction and a couple months later someone sends a S&D letter asking for the domain name...since they own the other extensions.
You said you like answering questions...so here is some tough ones.

As in all cases the registrant takes the risk against any infringing activity against trademark holders. You should seek advice on this point from your legal representative.
