What are some recommended registrars if one wants to minimize exposure to USA regulators? I had previously heard Gandi, but more recently have heard the company now operates through a US subsidiary. I'm looking to register a .is domain.

All gTLD registrations are subject to U.S. law. Its an artifact of the structure of the market and technology.

If you want a reasonably safe registration, pick a domain in a country-code TLD with laws you like and registry directly with the registry.
