ICANN's DNSSEC root signing proposal d.o.a.?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36847225&f=175425&u=11399627> 

What is technical and what is political? Some of you may recall various
members of the technical community scolding us about how implementation of
DNSSEC at the root was a "purely technical issue" and that the world should
ignore the governance questions and just "get on with it." This plea of
urgency gained steam this summer during the Kaminsky attack episode, with
some blaming the Department of Commerce as the "the
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://blog.wired.com/27bst
roke6/2008/08/experts-accuse.html>  show-stopper." What some technical
experts failed to recognize was the underlying power struggle involving
ICANN, the U.S. Commerce Department and VeriSign over the arcane business of
how the root zone of the DNS might be signed, an important step in the
implementation of DNSSEC. And more importantly, how the US Government is
making sure this process unfolds in a way that keeps it in control of the
root.  <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IGPBlogCombined/~4/410476911>

VeriSign's plan to sign the root
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36797615&f=175425&u=11399627> 

VeriSign has publicly
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://mail.shinkuro.com:81
00/Lists/dnssec-deployment/Message/1478.html?Language=>  released its
proposal to sign the root, which it sent to the NTIA on September 22. Their
proposal comes on the heels of ICANN submitting their own (yet to be
publicly released) proposal to the NTIA on September 2. DoC will be putting
out a Notice of Inquiry soon regarding signing the root to gather public
comments. VeriSign adds a much needed dimension to the root signing debate,
introducing a well known threshold cryptographic technique. But the
proposal's reliance on root server operators needs to be considered
carefully.  <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IGPBlogCombined/~4/405646342>

IGP Fellowships to Hyderabad awarded
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36817569&f=175425&u=11399627> 

The Internet Governance Project has awarded two fellowships to young
scholars from Poland and China to enable them to attend the Hyderabad
Internet Governance Forum and present their research at the 3rd annual
Symposium of GigaNet
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://www.igloo.org/gigane
t/>  (the Global Internet Governance Academic Network). Dr. Joanna Kulesza,
of the University of Lodz Faculty of Law and Administration, will present a
paper titled "Internet governance and the jurisdiction of states." Dr. Zhuo
Zhang, of the Wuhan University School of Journalism and Communication,
China, will present her paper (co-authored with Handong Wang): "Two Kinds of
Violence: Internet Governance and Internet Mob in Mainland China."

IANA TAR: Pressure by ICANN to be independent?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36755509&f=175425&u=11399627> 

Last June IGP reported on efforts to develop a trust anchor repository (TAR)
to help bootstrap the deployment of DNSSEC. A TAR would provide a
centralized location where top level registries could place public key
information pertaining to their zone's trust anchor. The key information
could be accessed by secure resolvers to initiate the validation of signed
zone data. The TAR idea had been floated by several actors in lieu of the
difficulty of getting DNSSEC deployed at the root. It seems that the TAR
concept continues to gain traction.
