They noted that the signing would become public from January 2010, when the process of signing each of the 13 root servers in turn would begin. This process will continue until July 2010, when ICANN publishes the root zone trust anchor and root operators begin to serve the signed root zone with actual keys. On 15 December 2009, the root zone DNSSEC deployment team launched a website that provides information about DNSSEC for the root zone: http://www.root-dnssec.org/ The website is a repository for the documentation relating to the deployment of DNSSEC in the root zone, and it includes information such as technical status updates and the full timetable for the deployment of DNSSEC. The RIPE NCC, operator of K-root, confirms its commitment to support the ICANN/VeriSign initiative and coordinate with the other root zone server operators in the deployment of DNSSEC in the root zone. The RIPE NCC also provides data collection and measurements that allows monitoring of the effects the transition has on the overall performance of the root server system. This information is available on RIPE Labs at: http://labs.ripe.net/content/preparing-k-root-signed-root-zone Further details on the RIPE NCC's operation of K-root are available at: http://k.root-servers.org Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky Chief Technical Officer RIPE NCC From laura at ripe.net Thu Dec 17 17:28:48 2009 From: laura at ripe.net (Laura Cobley) Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:28:48 +0100 Subject: [ncc-announce] New RIPE NCC PGP Key Message-ID: <4B2A5C40.4080908@ripe.net> [Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, On Wednesday, 6 January 2010 we will start using our 2010 key to sign e-mail from our ticketing system.
