The IRR is also controlled by a few entities that would be vulnerable to government intervention, but that's the tool we currently rely on. RPKI roots trust at the RIRs, and that is a vulnerability, but any government intervention would end that trust and end the use of the RIRs as trust anchors. It's pretty unlikely to ever be used that way. Disclaimer: I co-authored some of the drafts for RPKI and helped implement RPKI systems at an RIR.
