[Chapter-delegates] [Request for comments] US Government Notice of Inquiry on introducing DNSSEC

[Bill Graham]

Dear Chapter Delegates and Members,

As you are probably aware, the US Department of Commerce’s National  
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) recently  
issued a Notice of Inquiry seeking public comments regarding the  
deployment of Domain Name and Addressing System Security Extensions  
(DNSSEC) into the Internet’s DNS infrastructure, including the  
authoritative root zone.  *Comments are due by November 24, 2008.*   
The Notice of Inquiry is now available online at <www.ntia.doc.gov>.   
Please note that it is essential to read both the Notice of Inquiry  
and the material posted under the heading "DNS Security Supporting  
Materials."

ISOC is planning to respond to this Notice of Inquiry, in order to  
emphasize the importance of signing the root.  A small team has begun  
to work on the response.  As work progresses, it would be very useful  
to hear from you what are your top concerns regarding the  
implementation of DNSSEC, so that we can work with those in preparing  
the ISOC response.

To be certain that we are able to meet the November 24 deadline,  
please be sure to send your comments as soon as possible, but not  
later than end of your day, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2008.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Bill Graham and Leslie Daigle
