Considering that the root is still not signed, is the IAB considering
a different approach than 'silent diplomacy' towards achieving this
goal ? I would like to note that the RIPE community has issued a
public statement (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/icann-root-signing.pdf)
while I have not seen anything directly addressed to ICANN from the
IAB. I would expect that the IAB, with it's Internet Architecture
interest in mind, should be taking a much more active and public role
as delays in DNSSEC deployment at the root level may very well inspire
short-term non optimal solutions that will affect the overal security
architecture as defined by the IETF for the DNS.

I appreciate this.
