I didn't understand everything, my English isn't enough good ... :( It means that the managing of .org domains is taken over (if the sale goes through) by an investment company, whose only priority is to make money. .org was originally intended for not-for-profit organizations, so a lot of them are on a .org domain (though this rule is not enforced). The fear is that the investment company will simply increase the annual registration fee to whatever amount they want.
