Please be clear about this:  "root registry" != ".COM/.NET registry".  The
"." domain "root" servers *are* under decentralized, and partly non-profit,
control.  Some of the root operators have publicly expressed disapproval
and/or disgust at VeriSign's move.

It's "GTLD-SERVERS.NET", which is owned by VeriSign and serves the "COM."
and "NET." zones, which have been futzed in this way.
