ICANN's DNSSEC root signing proposal d.o.a.?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36847225&f=175425&u=11399627> 

What is technical and what is political? Some of you may recall various
members of the technical community scolding us about how implementation
of DNSSEC at the root was a "purely technical issue" and that the world
should ignore the governance questions and just "get on with it." This
plea of urgency gained steam this summer during the Kaminsky attack
episode, with some blaming the Department of Commerce as the "the
show-stopper
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://blog.wired.com/2
7bstroke6/2008/08/experts-accuse.html> ." What some technical experts
failed to recognize was the underlying power struggle involving ICANN,
the U.S. Commerce Department and VeriSign over the arcane business of
how the root zone of the DNS might be signed, an important step in the
implementation of DNSSEC. And more importantly, how the US Government is
making sure this process unfolds in a way that keeps it in control of
the root. <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IGPBlogCombined/~4/410476911>

VeriSign's plan to sign the root
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36797615&f=175425&u=11399627> 

VeriSign has publicly released its proposal to sign the root
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://mail.shinkuro.co
m:8100/Lists/dnssec-deployment/Message/1478.html?Language=> , which it
sent to the NTIA on September 22. Their proposal comes on the heels of
ICANN submitting their own (yet to be publicly released) proposal to the
NTIA on September 2. DoC will be putting out a Notice of Inquiry soon
regarding signing the root to gather public comments. VeriSign adds a
much needed dimension to the root signing debate, introducing a well
known threshold cryptographic technique. But the proposal's reliance on
root server operators needs to be considered carefully.

IGP Fellowships to Hyderabad awarded
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36817569&f=175425&u=11399627> 

The Internet Governance Project has awarded two fellowships to young
scholars from Poland and China to enable them to attend the Hyderabad
Internet Governance Forum and present their research at the 3rd annual
Symposium of GigaNet
<http://www.feedblitz.com/t.asp?/175425/11399627/http://www.igloo.org/gi
ganet/> (the Global Internet Governance Academic Network). Dr. Joanna
Kulesza, of the University of Lodz Faculty of Law and Administration,
will present a paper titled "Internet governance and the jurisdiction of
states." Dr. Zhuo Zhang, of the Wuhan University School of Journalism
and Communication, China, will present her paper (co-authored with
Handong Wang): "Two Kinds of Violence: Internet Governance and Internet
Mob in Mainland China."

IANA TAR: Pressure by ICANN to be independent?
<http://feedblitz.com/r.asp?l=36755509&f=175425&u=11399627> 

Last June IGP reported on efforts to develop a trust anchor repository
(TAR) to help bootstrap the deployment of DNSSEC. A TAR would provide a
centralized location where top level registries could place public key
information pertaining to their zone's trust anchor. The key information
could be accessed by secure resolvers to initiate the validation of
signed zone data. The TAR idea had been floated by several actors in
lieu of the difficulty of getting DNSSEC deployed at the root. It seems
that the TAR concept continues to gain traction.
