Google is not trying to hide their affliliation with Charleston Road
Registry, afaict. On the Google registry FAQ page, they state:

----

Charleston Road Registry (CRR) is a subsidiary of Google. Because ICANN
requires that registrars and registries remain separate entities, and
Google is already an ICANN-accredited registrar, CRR exists as a
separate company from Google.

----

I am not sure what you mean by OpenNIC needing to renew the registration
of .ing. Where was OpenNIC supposed to register its domains?
