I'd like more details about who is behind it and what their goals are. But it sounds better than Ethos at its core. The fact it's not being run for profit puts motives well above Ethos who pretend 10% per year price increases are reasonable and accepted. ORG hasn't raised prices in years and hasn't had a need to. It was one of the arguments for uncapping the price is that they were a responsible steward not taking advantage of their annual 10%, so why would it be abused? A PE company acquiring it is exactly why.
If Internet Society imploded and had contract taken away and their revenue stream of .ORG revoked it would be karma for selling out the community they were supposed to represent. I suspect if this were to happen the new COOP would be required to supplement ISOC budget at least for a while. But personally, I would love to see ISOC get nothing. It should be a harsh reminder that representing your community properly is important.
