Oh, please. That was the sitefinder fiasco which led to lawsuits and convulsions at ICANN, and considerable contract revision. Nothing like that will happen again for reasons I can explain privately for anyone who cares.

Except that repetition of the same action is not what was being suggested. Rather, a matter of corporate culture was.

That was one event eighteen years ago. Since they haven't done anything else like that since then, perhaps they learned a lesson.

Every gTLD operator has a web of contracts with ICANN, and Verisign also with the US government, which severely constrain what they can do with their TLDs.

If someone believes that Verisign or any other TLD operator might do something bad, and that using the PSL would fix the badness, we really need details about what the bad thing might be and what the fix would be. I am probably as involved with ICANN and TLD operators than anyone else here and I just don't see it. I'm not saying any of the operators are paragons of sweetness and light, but I am saying I do not see anything they could do that would affect the way DMARC works.
