Root Zone DNSSEC Operational Update | message on behalf of Verisign
by Joke Braeken June 10, 2025

June 10, 2025

Dear ccTLD managers, I am forwarding you the message below, on behalf of Duane Wessels at Verisign. In case you have any questions, please reach out to Duane directly at dwessels(a)verisign.com = = = Verisign, in its role as the root zone ZSK operator, is transitioning to a new Hardware Security Module (HSM) product for the root zone's Zone Signing Key (ZSK). The current HSM vendor, Ultra Intelligence & Communications, has announced their KeyperPLUS will no longer be supported by them. Verisign will use an HSM product from Thales for the root zone ZSK going forward. On July 1, 2025 we will begin using the Thales HSM to sign the root zone on a daily basis. Although we anticipate this will be a seamless change for end users and anticipate no problems, prudence dictates that we need a backout plan, should it become necessary. As part of our backout plan, we will be post-publishing the previous quarter's ZSK for a longer than normal period of time. Normally, following a quarterly ZSK rollover, the previous key is post-published for a period of 10 days. As part of our HSM transition, we will instead post-publish the previous ZSK for a period of 80 days. This provides ample time to remediate any issues that may arise as part of this transition, and should it become necessary, to revert to using the old HSM to sign the root zone. = = = Thank you. Best regards. Joke Braeken joke.braeken(a)icann.org Read more about the ccNSO Program at ICANN83: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYDTCw

This resolution becomes effective upon publication. 16. Adoption Terms of Reference Study Group Disaster Recovery Draft Resolutions Background In May 2025, the Policy Gap Working Group recommended the ccNSO Council to establish a Study Group to explore and advise to the Council on the role of IANA, if any, with respect to disaster recovery of ccTLDs. The rationale for this recommendations was: · There is no current role for IANA, but participants seem interested in exploring this. · Because there is no current role, there is no existing policy to have to account for - a relatively “blank page” study can occur. There is significant public interest in ccTLDs being resilient and available even when disaster strikes, so discerning whether IANA has a role in this can help with ICANN’s overall support of a stable and secure Internet.  Following the recommendation of the PGA, the ccNSO Council decided to set-up a Study Group as suggested, and requested the chair of the PGA WG and secretariat to draft terms of Reference for the Study Group. The proposed Terms of Reference were circulated to Council. Decision The ccNSO Council adopts the Terms of Reference for the Study Group Disaster Recovery. The date to launch the call for volunteers will be decided by Council at a later stage to take into account prioritization of the ccNSO work items, and the related adoption of the ccNSO 26-27 Portfolio of activities. The secretariat is requested to publish this resolution as soon as possible. The resolution becomes effective 7 days after publication. 17. Adoption Terms of Reference IANA Public Records Study Group Draft resolution Background In May 2025, the PGA WG recommended the ccNSO Council to establish a Study Group to explore and advise the ccNSO Council on: · The purpose of IANA public records · The expected accuracy of the IANA public records · The enforcement and/or graduated compliance options The rationale for this recommendations is: · The quality of the data in the IANA records is assumed to be a matter of significant public and community interest - it is to everyone’s benefit for this data to be accurate and up to date. · How to keep the data accurate and up-to-date will generate consideration of steps to be taken when it is not, and such consideration will help inform the future consideration of other issues. In other words, it is a foundational discussion that helps deal with other matters more efficiently later. · This is the issue that in an operational sense gives IANA most concern, and so dealing with it first will help IANA be more efficient. Following the recommendation of the PGA, the ccNSO Council decided to set-up a Study Group as suggested, and requested the chair of the PGA WG and secretariat to draft terms of Reference for the Study Group. The proposed Terms of Reference were circulated to Council. Decision The ccNSO Council adopts the Terms of Reference for the IANA Public Records Study Group. The date to launch the call for volunteers is set for Tuesday 16 September 2025, will be decided by Council at a later stage to take into account prioritization of the ccNSO work items, and the related adoption of the ccNSO 26-27 Portfolio of activities. The secretariat is requested to publish this resolution as soon as possible. The resolution becomes effective 7 days after publication. 18. Call for volunteers ccNSO Policy Implementation Assistance Group review Mechanism (ccPAIG RM) Under the assumption the Board has adopted the ccNSO Policy review mechanism at its 8 June 2025 meeting, the implementation of the policy will need to be detailed. The ccNSO has developed an outline for such a group. Accordingly, former members of the WG are explicitly invited to participate as well as others. One of the ccNSO Councillors is expected to be liaison between the group and the Council The role and tasks of the group are described in the outline: https://ccnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/field-attached/outline-ccnso-po… . Draft Resolution Decision In accordance with the Outline Policy Implementation Assistance process, the ccNSO Council requests the secretariat to launch a call for volunteers for the ccNSO Policy Implementation Assistance Group, targeting members of the ccNSO PDP3 Review Mechanism Working Group and (former) Councillors involved in the clarification process regarding the review mechanism. The call should be launched as soon as possible. This secretariat is also requested to publish this resolution as soon as possible. This resolution becomes effective upon publication. 19. Appointment members or chairs/vice chairs to committees and working groups, if any To be appointed: · Chair Tech Working Group: Eberhard Lisse · Member ICANN’s UA Expert Working Group: Sami Mohamed Ali (.bh) · TBD’ed Draft Resolution Decision The following person are appointed: * Eberhard Lisse (.na), at the nomination of the members of Tech WG, as chair of the Tech WG; * Sami Mohamed Ali (.bh), following the call for volunteers and following the ccNSO selection procedure, as member of the Universal Acceptance Expert Group 20. CSC related matters a. Selection of ccNSO appointed member and alternate b.

Deferral 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review In August 2024, the ccNSO and GNSO Councils deferred the 3rd CSC Effectiveness review pending implementation of the recommendations of the 2nd Review. Recently further steps regarding implementation of these recommendations were made, including a series of questions for the ccNSO Council. Suggestion is to defer the 3rd Effectiveness review for one year pending implementation of the recommendations. Draft Resolution Background The 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review was due to start in October 2024, three (3) years after the start of the 2nd Effectiveness review. In August 2024 the ccNSO Council decided to defer the 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review, and to revisit this decision in August 2025. Rationale for deferral was, firstly not all recommendations from 2nd review team were implemented, and secondly, the second Review was concluded in April 2023, with the adoption of the Final Report by the ccNSO and GNSO Councils, 1.5 years before the next review had to start. As follow-up the Council received a letter from ICANN on the necessary Bylaw and Charter changes to implement the recommendations.The Bylaw changes are fundamental Bylaw changes, implying they will need to be approved by the Empowered Community and it will not be completed by October 2025. Decision As the reasons for deferral are still relevant, and after discussing possible deferral with the GNSO Council leadership, it is suggested to defer the 3rd CSC Effectiveness and revisit this decision in one year (June 2026). The Council requests its chair to - jointly with the chair of the GNSO Council - inform the chair of the ICANN Board of Directors that the ccNSO and GNSO Councils will defer defining the method on how the 3rd CSC Effectiveness Review will be conducted. The secretariat is requested to publish the resolution as soon as possible, and this resolution becomes effective seven (7) days after its publication. SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS & DECISIONS 21. ICANN83 a.

by Bart Boswinkel June 8, 2025

June 8, 2025

Dear all, Please find included the draft update of the ccNSO Council Selection Guideline. The current version, to be replaed, is available at: https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-ccnso-council-election-procedure-15… Due to change in lay-out and inclusion of a glossary, a redline version is not available. The GRC has completed its review of the Guideline. Goal is to ensure that the next Council Selection process will happen under the updated Guideline. After you have completed your review, the GRC will adjust the Guideline, if necessary. You are requested to review the included version. If you have any comments, please send them to the list or directly to me by Tuesday 3 June 2025. The GRC will review your comments and update the draft if considered necessary. The update takes into account the various recommendations of the Council election process manager and direction from Councill. The major changes are: * Include a glossary and relevant Bylaw sections. Includes definition of self-nominating and self-seconding * Clarification of nomination procedures and introduction template for nomination seconding and acceptance of nomination.. * Procedures around change of affiliation: * During selection process * As Councillor-Elect * As Councillor Thank you and kind regards, Bart

To enter the event you must have a sticker on your badge. Please come find Claudia Ruiz on Monday or Tuesday in the ccNSO Room ~ South Hall 3 A/B (ccNSO) We will be in the ccNSO room all day on both days, please get your stickers early. ***A Huge thank you to nic.cz<https://www.nic.cz/> and EURid<https://www.eurid.eu/en/> for organizing and hosting this event*** About the Event Czech history isn’t just about kings and landmarks; it’s also deeply rooted in a tradition of inventiveness, playfulness, and technical skill. We'll meet at a place that tells its own stories – the Lví dvůr restaurant, whose history dates back to 1581. It was then that Emperor Rudolf II ordered the creation of a lion enclosure here for Mohamed, his kindred spirit, whom he was said to have found with the help of astrologer Johannes Kepler. In this extraordinary space, the past meets modern creativity. The legendary Merkur construction set, dating back to the early 20th century and instrumental in shaping generations of Czech engineers, recalls an era when screws and bolts opened doors to discovery – it was even used by the designer of the first Czech robot. A musical performance using modular instruments by Brno-based Bastl Instruments will demonstrate that tinkering still thrives in the Czech Republic – now transformed into the world of synthesizers and digital circuits, used by bands like Coldplay and Depeche Mode. And because Czech playfulness wouldn’t be complete without the art of beer tapping, you’ll also get the chance to try pouring the perfect pint – with proper foam and the skill worthy of a true tapmaster.
