Considering that the root is still not signed, is the IAB considering a different approach than 'silent diplomacy' towards achieving this goal ? I would like to note that the RIPE community has issued a public statement (http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/icann-root-signing.pdf) while I have not seen anything directly addressed to ICANN from the IAB. I would expect that the IAB, with it's Internet Architecture interest in mind, should be taking a much more active and public role as delays in DNSSEC deployment at the root level may very well inspire short-term non optimal solutions that will affect the overal security architecture as defined by the IETF for the DNS. > Besides, under the header of "leading by example" > we are working with the operators of the zones for which the IAB has > certain responsibility to get those signed (e.g. [1]).
