Re: [ga] RSTEP Report on PIR's Request to Implement DNSSEC in .ORG

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glen and all,

  Thank you Glen for sharing this good news however belated
it may be.

  As you and most attentive GA'ers know, all of our members
have as of either 3 years ago and/or as a matter of membership
requirement implimented DNSSEC for their Domain Names.  

  Now if we/ICANN can only get IPSEC as a manditory requirement
for all Registries and Registrars implimented, which in our
members opinion should have been a manditory requirement for
all TLD and IP registries and Domain Name Registrars from the 
outset circa 1999 as I repeatedly and clearly articulated
in bahalf of our members at that time.
