The problem is, once the ICANNt root is self-signed, the hope of ever revoking that dysfunctional mess as authority is gone.
Perhaps the IETF or DoC should sign the root, that way we have a prayer of wresting control from ICANN, as opposed to paying a tax, in perpetuity, for registration services to an unaccountable, unelected, and imperious body? Some of us don't think the UN/EU/ITU are good models for governance. IE: Separation of powers. ICANN/IANA is granted (interim) authority to operate, but some other governing body signs. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Vixie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 9:13 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Exploit for DNS Cache Poisoning - RELEASED > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ("Jorge Amodio") writes: > > > As I mentioned in another message, perhaps its time to get serious > > about DNSSEC, where are we on this front ? > > Still waiting for US-DoC to give ICANN/IANA permission to > sign the root zone. > -- > Paul Vixie > > -- > This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous > content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. > > >
