-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear colleagues, The Interim Trust Anchor Repository is now closed. Since the beginning of 2009, ICANN has operated a service known as the Interim Trust Anchor Repository (ITAR). This allowed top-level domain operators who use DNSSEC to publish their trust anchor in absence of a signed DNS root zone. On 15 July 2010, the DNS root zone was signed, and in the following months TLD operators have transitioned to using it. With the last remaining TLDs transitioning to the signed root zone, the ITAR is no longer required. The service was a successful bottom-up collaboration with the Internet community. ICANN was asked to operate the service to help DNSSEC adoption during its initial phases. During its lifetime, the ITAR supported over a hundred listing requests for dozens of top-level domains that were early adopters of DNSSEC. The operational experience ICANN gained in operating ITAR also helped inform the roll-out of the signed DNS root zone. Existing listings were removed on 18 November 2010, and the website was completely decommissioned on 28 January 2011. This is anticipated to be the last announcement sent to this mailing list. Thanks for your interest in our service. With kindest regards, Kim Davies Manager, Root Zone Services ICANN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD4DBQFNSzDm3AePosm0KEgRApMsAJ9J/aHqPLwI1wjLIGjtJlQhvxnVqACXXG1H x44tJh50zJMI4RjXNeMgaA== =bp3N -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
