This smells bad. Why would the USG, through the Department of Commerce, solicit and consider the input of foreign entities?
If you understand the way the DNS and DNSSEC work the reason why is pretty obvious: they just want to check how many of them still ignore that the root server system is of no use, the proposed DNSSEC alibi as reliable as the US banking system. If they represent more than 60% of the users (as it is probably the case today if you consider the Chinese case), DNSSEC would actually be turning the Internet control to @larges earlier than obliged. The short term $ value difference is significant. jfc
