I've been looking at the discussion of the possible ALAC statement on
the KSK rollover plan at
https://community.icann.org/x/dw28B

I'm thinking a shorter, direct statement is needed. I posted this on
the wiki page:

----
The ALAC understands the need for proceeding with the Root KSK
Rollover. However, the ALAC remains concerned about the lack of
clarity regarding the number of DNS resolvers not yet ready for the
Root KSK rollover on October 2018 and the potential impact of
disruption of Internet services by the users of such DNS resolvers.

The ALAC therefore urges ICANN to raise awareness of the Root KSK
Rollover in as many ways possible: via interviews to media
organisations that covered the postponent of the KSK Rollover in
October 2017, via presentations at ICT/Internet conferences and having
online informational materials that can be shared with the global
Internet community.

Also, it is important that information about the KSK Rollover be
developed for Internet end users (in the 6 UN languages) on
- how to check whether the DNS they use is ready for the KSK Rollover.
- what to do if their DNS is NOT ready for the KSK Rollover.

The ALAC welcomes regular updates from ICANN on their KSK Rollover
preparations and developments before October 2018.
