Thanks, that helps.

FWIW, this was actually a meeting about the PKI, and some people were
talking about (1) refusing certificates or (2) refusing OV or EV
certificates to people in known-to-be-troublesome TLDs unless the TLD
had a clear and working anti-abuse and takedown mechanism in place.
Given the ICANN contractual environment, that is difficult.  But as
whois/RDS gets harder to use for outside parties, I predict that more
and more anti-abuse measures will be taken at the entire TLD level.
