For example, I could *CLAIM* to be an independent customer of
whoever runs scconsult.com as a registry, and I just "registered"
billmail.scconsult.com with them, and therefore am completely
innocent of the bad behavior by some evil guy who "registered"
spammer.scconsult.com. All that bozo who runs scconsult.com does is
hand out subdomains without oversight, because ICANN has no
jurisdiction over non-parties to their association.

I'm not sure how exactly PSL is maintained, but I guess that if you'd want scconsult.com to be included in PSL (so that you could somehow back up your
claim that it's a registry),

Why bother? Anyone disputing my claim is welcome to try to disprove it. :)

you would need some proof that actually anyone
can register the domain under scconsult.com. You would probably need to have a publicly documented registration procedure and policy, and maybe be able to demonstrate a bunch of actual independent subdomains registered under this domain, run by someone else than you? Because that's the way
eu.org, uk.com and similar operate.

All that might be nice, were I *actually* running a DIY registry, but suppose that all I want to do is assure that my alter-ego/customer/subcontractor spammers get reported to ME rather than upstream: why do any of it? It's pretty easy to mimic a diligent abuse desk. The fight for better policy enforcement standards and transparency was lost decades ago, to the point that a faux registry could easily appear to out-BOFH the poor abuse desk folks at eu.org and uk.com who are presumably tethered to honesty.
