Why not?

Let's see... the past year the was a big scandal because apparently multiple non-profits were selling the .ORG top level domain name for $1B. They got these top level domain for free from the US government (or some institution thereof).

I would certainly like the EU to regulate more of the Internet instead of it being an US territory.

This is ICANN’s responsibility and not root DNS servers.

They are completely separate entities.

If you dislike this go shout at ICANN. It’s was US organisation - now it’s a “private” one[1]
