USG delegated the organization to manage .US with understanding
that they have rights to oversee it.

Australian government did the same thing with .AU.

Here comes S. Africa with .ZA.

And more governments are ready to take "stupid action" according to
your language referring to USG.

It is very difficult for the other governments to understand only USG
is the one who can manage the DNS with authority.
