I am a .org registrant. A number of excellent objections to raising the cap on .org legacy TLDs have been explained here. I find it difficult to believe that an organization like ICANN that is supposed to serve the public potentially  could destroy tens of thousands of small organizations' most important means of outreach to the public. I registered three small websites for loose networks that advocate for specific issues.  While the .net is the main site, I forward the .org to each one.  I also keep the domain because I, or others who I work with, may in the future want to turn one or more of the websites into a full blown organizations. Also, I know that there are factions very opposed to the mission of the sites and would be delighted to buy the .org sites and use them to mock the current .net sites or even to defraud visitors. I'm sure lots of organizations have that issue. Similar concerns apply to individuals who do not want their name sullied with false sites mocking or misrepresenting them. Yes, speculators and domain investors can be annoying. But at least if you want a domain back they'll sell it to you.  Saboteurs will just hold on to it! I thought when the United States let ICANN go it was to serve the larger public and world in a fairer way and help keep costs under control for countries with smaller GDP and personal and group incomes.  But now I see just the opposite. I am very disappointed.
