The flaw is the USA Government is in charge ultimately of all public IPs and domain names.
It should have been under the ITU, which is now part of UN, but existed since the 19th C.
The USA can't disable phone number ranges or postal codes outside the USA.
The Internet needs decentralised and the 100s of millions of IP addresses given to US institutions returned to the global poo.
