[dns-wg] Deploying DNSSEC in e164.arpa zone

[Andrei Robachevsky andrei@localhost]

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce its plan for the deployment of
DNSSEC in the e164.arpa zone (ENUM). This improvement to the operation
of the domain was developed and concluded following consultation with
the IETF's Internet Architecture Board (IAB).

In line with the IAB's instructions, the RIPE NCC has provided technical
administration for the e164.arpa zone since 2002. These instructions are
documented and are available at: http://www.ripe.net/enum/instructions.html

We informed the IAB of our intention to implement DNSSEC in the
e164.arpa zone and we received positive feedback and support for the
deployment. Details of the correspondence between the RIPE NCC and the
IAB can be found at: http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence/

We will start signing the e164.arpa on 26 November 2007 and support for
secure delegations will be provided on 24 March 2008. Further
announcements will be posted as these milestones approach.

Best regards,

Andrei Robachevsky
Chief Technical Officer
RIPE NCC
