We can't say such niana international.
That some US-based corporation have some non-US directores does not
make the corporation an international entity.
You may have no problem to make niana US local.
Well, me either, as long as we have international IANA, in addition.

It was a mistake of IANA (and, according to the fiction of the GP and
WP, USG) that there was not much effort paid to internationalize IANA.
As a result, IANA is not internationalized and operated solely by
US residents.
However, gTLD-MoU is the attempt of IANA (and, according to the fiction
of the GP and WP, under the administration of USG) to internationalize
IANA.
Now, it's too late for IANA (and, according to the fiction of the GP
and WP, USG) to say differently.
The past failure to internationalize IANA can't be a rational to keep
it uninternationalized US-local entity.
