Folks,

As a follow-up to the discussion a few weeks ago, we are proceeding the next 
root zone key signing ceremony tomorrow, as originally scheduled, but with 
reduced in-person participation and a limited agenda. We’ve put together a Q&A 
on our approach which is available at 
https://data.iana.org/ksk-ceremony/41/KC41_qa.pdf and a general interest blog 
article has been posted by ICANN at 
https://www.icann.org/news/blog/conducting-a-key-signing-ceremony-in-the-face-of-covid-19

The ceremony itself is scheduled to start at 1700 UTC on Thursday, the script 
and livestream will be available at https://www.iana.org/dnssec/ceremonies/41

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful input that went into the approach.

witness utilization of the root zone KSK private key. This approach seeks to 
engender trust in the broader community that the key has not been compromised, 
in addition to more typical controls such as third-party auditing.
