By definition, since the blatant failure of governance is occurring at ICANN and the *entire* domain name system falls within ICANN's remit, no.
However, .ca - managed by CIRA, which has a fairly strict mandate (so far, anyway), is a fairly good bet IMHO.

As you may have heard, ICANN removed the price caps on .org domains, then quietly decided to sell the .org registry to a private equity firm linked to a former ICANN CEO and several American billionaires (https:// www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/26/org_selloff_internet/).
So, a bunch of respectable organizations have started a petition to stop that, at https://savedotorg.org/ . Signing might help.
Given the absolute failure of governance at ICANN, which seems to be spreading to NRO, IANA, etc., I think "Save dotOrg" has about as much chance of success as "Save Concordia" did locally, no matter the justness of the cause.
What *would* be a good idea, though, despite the "rewarding bad behaviour" aspect of it, would be renew any .org domains you have, NOW, for the maximum term (10 years). Several industry observers are expecting prices to rise >10x, so you'll probably be saving a good chunk of money by doing it now.
