#2At this point, I believe that even if the population of 90% of the planet were to legitimately oppose this, ICANN would ignore it anyway.
Not that it isn't worth a shot, but I have become highly cynical of the entire organisation.

#3They ignored completely any message that we sent their way regarding the sale of .org. Filling out this form feels like a huge waste of time.

#4No one likes a price increase, but 30% increase to ~$10/year over four years is not making my blood boil.

#6I kind of want the price to increase, to combat domain squatting. That said, I'd much prefer it if the money went to some charity instead of the ICANN.

Squatting can be easily prevented by reclaiming domain names without refund when the domain names have not been used or used illegitimately for more than a fixed threshold period of time.
Parking pages or any other use that intends to work around the restriction can be deemed illegitimate use.

I don't see that as very easy, given that there are degrees of parking pages and it can be hard to figure out where to draw the line.

Not to mention that there are many other uses for a domain, such as email.
