Today, IGP launches a month-long series of blog
entries on DNS security, focusing specifically on the
problem of cryptographically signing the DNS root
zone. We will explore some of the hidden and
not-so-hidden political implications of this technical
change. We will show how DNSSEC implementation, if
handled properly, creates an opportunity to overcome
some of the thorny global governance issues associated
with the current root zone file management procedure.
These postings -- hopefully with the aid of your
comments -- will evolve into a new position paper on
the politics and economics of DNSSEC to be released in
May. 

The ideas will be discussed at the Symposium on
"Internet Governance and Security: Exploring Global
and National Solutions," in Washington, DC, May 17,
2007. One panel, focused on DNSSEC, will feature
speakers from IGP, the U.S. National Institute for
Standards and Technology (NIST), VeriSign, Nominet UK,
and IETF, with commentary by Becky Burr, a lawyer at
Wilmer Hale and former Commerce Department official
who specializes in DNS law.
