development. We would like to see IANA providing such a registry as
soon as possible. As you know we have developed a set of requirements
for such a repository. As these may be useful for you when implementing

[1] The registry should be technology neutral. It should not exclude or
! prevent different flavours of trust anchors to be published, provided
! provided those trust anchors conform to the relevant standards.
! [2] The TAR should be OS/DNS implementation neutral. Tools and
! documentation should be provided for the common platforms: "here's how
! to transform this crypto gunk into stuff to plug into your
! resolver/server configuration".
! Comment: IANA should publish such docmentation and tools, or pointers to
them. Once we know details of repository, we can help putting together
this documentation.
! [3] The TAR should verify that the keying material it receives comes
! from authorised source, verify it is correctly formatted and verify
! it is consisten with what is published in the TLD zone before publishing it.
! There should also be a secure channel for authenticating the TAR and any
data it is publishing.

Comment: An opt-in mailing list for operational news should be sufficient
to satisfy this.
! [5] The TAR should be clear what support, if any, is available.
! [6] The TAR must have exit strategy.
Comment: The proposal includes that.
! [7] The TAR should only publish keying material with the consent of
the respective key manager.
Please let us know any the details of the repository as well as the time-line
for implementation as soon as they become available. Please feel free to make
! our supoort for this repository known to anyone in the ICANN govenance structure
if it helps to push this along.
Kind Regards
