I suppose the strength that can continue for ccLTDs like .nz, facing competition from the potential large number of new gTLDs, is that we remain completely at arms length from US law enforcement and politics,

There's one "minor" corner case where a US court could direct ICANN, IANA, Verisign etc to remove the .nz delegation from the root zone. Oh, and large chunks of our routing to the rest of the world goes via the US so perhaps not quite completely. And I guess if the Megaupload story tells us anything our authorities will do what they're asked.
