[AusNOG] NTIA seeks public comments regarding the deployment of DNSSEC (ie signing the root zone)

[Terry Manderson]

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the double post to both lists, but I hadn't seen any one  
point to this previously and I thought important to point out that the  
close for submissions is looming (24th Nov)

http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dns/dnssec.html

This doesn't lay specifically in either the network operations nor the  
sys-admin camp individually - but covers all entities in both spaces  
as users and (should be!) interested parties of the DNS hierarchy.

I strongly suggest that you review the 2 proposals (from ICANN and  
from Versign), and make a comment either individually, or from your  
organisation, or collectively as a professional body.

My opinion has been submitted as an individual submission.

While both submissions as to who signs the zone (icann or versign)  
have some merit, my opinion (FWIW), is that the icann submission  
allows the best path, and most trust-able and responsive channel for  
all communities and stake holders that should be involved in the  
process. Its suggested implementation is also the most uncompromising  
in terms of security and implementation.

Cheers
Terry
