If you are not familiar with the way root zone changes are introduced,  
then perhaps knowledge in that area would be helpful in understanding  
how your concerns are misplaced.

NTIA provides the roll of auditor.  That would not be changing,  
regardless of who signs the root.

DNSSEC-signing the root is a purely technical action that allows one  
to ensure the content of the root zone has not been modified from the  
point it was signed to the point where it is viewed.  It does nothing  
more.  It grants no additional levers of power or control.

If you feel otherwise, please provide explicit details.

Getting the root signed has been derailed by exactly this sort of  
baseless, non-technical politicization.  It's way past time to move  
forward.
