Stephane and all,

  If it is an non-US company/registry, than your absolutely
right as long as there are not trade agreements that would have
clauses in them governing proper DNS configuration or similar.
But I believe that there are such language in clauses
in most existing trade agreements in most instances.  Otherwise
it is the DOJ's job to insure the safty of the in accordance
with the law regarding DNS, along with DOC/NTIA, and I believe
the lead person at DOJ is James Tierney.  Incodently recently
there have been congressional hearing seeking to define and
determine that the DOJ appoint a special prosecuter for
Internet affairs and operation.  See cspan for more information.
I am not sure what the progress is on this to date however.

  BTW, the USMC [ your blundering term Marines ] don't do Bind 
configuration inspections.  >:)  That sort of job would be up 
to the inspector general at USTR for non-US TLD or ccTLD registries.
