[governance] Re: .com/.net/.edu signed and DS records in the root

[McTim]

the meaning depends on your perspective. For me it means that website
owners can add a bit of security to their DNS records, so that man in
the middle and cache poisoning can be prevented. For milton and
brendan, it ,eans centralisation of control over the DNS. Am on my
phone today, so cant write a dissertation, but googgle "dnssec" for
more info. Rgds, mctim
