Tue Jul 3 11:12:46 EDT 2007
Look into the letter RIPE wrote to ICANN. The letter was rather ignored during the recent San Juan meeting. I would propose to invite Axel Pawlik or Daniel Kerrenberg from RIPE to the panel.
Best wishes (and I will certainly be in the audience)

Betreff: Re: [governance] IGP Workshop on DNSSEC
AFAIK, Patrik is not on ICANN's SSAC, but he obviously follows these
issues, and DNSSEC, quite closely.
Thanks Robert for the offer of assistance, I'm aware of the workshops
SSAC has put on and virtually attended all of them (or at least read
the transcripts). We've had a flurry of activity with potential
panelists over the past few days, but please do forward notice of the
workshop. If anyone is interested please have them get in touch with
me.
Best,
Brenden
