Folks,
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration
published a "Notice of Inquiry" entitled
"Enhancing the Security and Stability of the Internet's Domain Name
and Addressing System" in today's
Federal Register:
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Department) notes the increase in
interest among government, technology experts and industry
representatives regarding the deployment of Domain Name and Addressing
System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) at the root zone level. The
Department remains committed to preserving the security and stability
of the DNS and is exploring the implementation of DNSSEC in the DNS
hierarchy, including at the authoritative root zone level.
Accordingly,
the Department is issuing this notice to invite comments regarding
DNSSEC implementation at the root zone.
If you have an opinion on whether DNSSEC should or should not be
deployed in the root zone, I urge you to make
that position known by submitting comments. Comments are due on
November 24, 2008. Contact details are
included in the NOI.
The "html" version of the NOI is available at
