MODERATORS
Can confirm what the other commenter said, completely impossible to have an effect. .com and .gov and .fr and .nz are what's called TLDs or Top Level Domains. Everything is delegated down from that level for any subdomains. .fr and .nz are country owned and any attempt to take control of that would be returned to their respective governments by ICANN.
