[At-Large] DOC Notice of Inquiry: DNSSEC

[Roberto Gaetano]

I was at the meeting, which was indeed hosted by the EU presidency.
One additional piece of information is that at the same meeting, the day
before, Eric Besson (French State Secretary for the developement of Digital
Economy) had announced the "French root" for the object naming system, as
complementary to the one managed by Verisign.
Different people might have different opinions on whether the two items are
related or not.
Cheers,
Roberto
