The question is because gTLDs operations are in the USA, does it mean that the USA have control over all those domain names? Can we trust solely the USA for such control?
No. However, anyone signing up for a GTLD should already have looked into risks like that, and there are ccTLDs....
This will come back with a vengeance in the JPA negotiations, ICANN, etc...
Only if US officials are forcing domains owned by foreign people/organizations to be disabled in the gTLD registry, based on activities of hosts that records in those domains point to, in that case, then, yes.. That's called introducing instability into the networks of other country's people that are not under your jurisdiction or operating servers in your jurisdiction, by attacking global infrastructure (DNS Servers) they rely on. By the same token, authorities could probably contrive court orders and send to Tier1 ISPs demanding they drop traffic to certain IP addresses (in foreign IP space). -- -J
