Important Meeting Invitation / At-Large Briefing call on DNSSEC key roll-over 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC
by ICANN At-Large Staff Oct. 14, 2016

Oct. 14, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Alan Greenberg, Chair of the ALAC, we would like to invite you to the At-Large Briefing call on DNSSEC key roll-over being planned by ICANN. This At-Large Briefing Session will feature Matt Larson, Vice President of Research for the CTO office at ICANN, who will give a presentation and answer questions on the upcoming DNSSEC root key-signing key (KSK) rollover being planned by ICANN. The root KSK is the most important cryptographic key in the DNS security extensions, or DNSSEC. DNSSEC protects end users from receiving spoofed data and prevents attacks such as being misdirected to a malicious web site. This cryptographic key will be changed, or rolled over, in late 2017. While the actual change isn't happening until next year, an important aspect of the project is getting the word out to those who need to know about the change and take action, such as network administrators and software developers. As per the doodle poll, this call will take place on Wednesday, 19 October 2016 at 19:00 UTC for 60 minutes. For other times: http://tinyurl.com/zzsptjz[tinyurl.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tinyurl.com_zzsptjz&d=D…> ALL ALAC Members and Regional Leaders are encouraged to participate.

As you may recall, representatives of all ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO (which decided not to take part in the DT effort), participated in the DT deliberations (see https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> for DT members). This proposed charter is the result of extensive input and deliberations, including careful review of input that was received as part of the cross-community session at ICANN 56 in Helsinki (see https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…> and we believe it now represents a careful balance between the different viewpoints and perspectives, including from both the DT Members and the ICANN Board liaisons to the DT. As such, the DT would like to request you review the proposed charter with this careful balance in mind and only flag to the DT any pertinent issues that would prevent your respective SO/AC from adopting this charter. We would like to request you highlight such pertinent issues by 30 September 2016 at the latest, including an indication of when you anticipate your respective SO/AC to be in a position to consider the charter for adoption following 30 September, provided that no pertinent issues have been identified by any of the ICANN SO/ACs. Of course, should you have any clarifying questions, please do not hesitate to respond to this message. The DT looks forward to receiving your feedback. Best wishes, Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair
