I'm always amazed by the amount of ignorance in some people in
governance discussions. Google's servers are "well distributed across
the world", even more than the DNS root name servers. Does it mean
they are not centrally controlled by Google?

The root zone can be modified (even for small technical changes) only
when there is an express approval by the US governement. Isn't it
"central control"? Pretending that the physical location of root name
servers diminishes this control is quite ridiculous.
