There is at least 1 supporter of the proposed .biz/info/org contracts....Chuck Gomes of VeriSign!! See here [icann.org]:
Ensuring the continued security and stability of its infrastructure is critical to the continued growth of the Internet. That is why VeriSign supports the proposed new registry agreement for .biz. The agreement closely mirrors the model registry agreements that ICANN has already used or proposed for .com, .info, .mobi, .net, and .org.
These agreements strike the important balance between protecting Internet users and providing registry operators with the incentives and flexibility to continue to invest in the Internet infrastructure. They also create a level playing field for all the registries.
He posted similar comments for .info and .org.
It would not surprise me if VeriSign is salivating at the prospect of these contracts being approved, so that it creates a precedent for future .com/net renegotiations. Certainly, VeriSign would need to get similar terms like no price caps and tiered pricing for .com/net, to create that "level playing field for all the registries".

ICANN has posted a draft summary of the public comments [icann.org] relating to the proposed .biz/info/org contracts.
In addition, they noted "Staff reported during the Board meeting that negotiations with the registries are already underway regarding clarification of the issues surrounding differential pricing."
