At the core of the global internet are the DNS root servers. These 13 go-to places are at the top of authority when it comes to making sure you can connect to any server with a domain name. What you might not know is that 10 of these 13 root servers are ultimately under US jurisdiction. Should that worry you? I guess not, the current system is quite robust. But I deal in risk assessment and probabilities. And I think this isn't an ideal setup.
@jwildeboer honest question: how much of a difference does it make, in practice, that not all of those servers are under US jurisdiction, when ICANN itself is an organization headquartered in the US, which means it ultimately must abide by the laws of that country, and can be compelled to act by its courts?
