But should it be? Verisign having control over it is a weird historical artifact of the early days of the internet.

all non-two-letter TLDs are American. I think we should ban them all and put them under .us, but it will never happen. You can't get there from here. Path dependence.

Also ICANN should have gotten the corporate death penalty when it announced gTLDs.
