Based on some requests from folks who are leaving the IETF meeting early, I have also reserved a meeting room for 1600-1700 Wednesday afternoon (local time), Pagoda Room on the 4th floor. And just to emphasize: the purpose of this week's informal gatherings is to let folks in the IETF community chat about their ideas in front of other IETFers. This is similar to the KSK-related mic lines at the DNS-OARC and RIPE meetings a few weeks ago. These IETF side-meetings really are just slightly-better-organized hallway discussions. Given the wide range of proposals we have already heard, it is good to get a bit of face-to-face sharing going early. We won't start formal planning about the KSK futures until after the rollover process is complete*. When we do, we'll do it in discussion environments that are much more inclusive than these informal IETF side-meetings or the mic lines at other technical meetings. --Paul Hoffman * Y'all did remember that the rollover isn't complete until we revoke KSK-2010 on 11 January 2019, yes? See <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ksk-rollover-operational-impleme...>, with the dates modified by <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/2018-ksk-roll-operational-implem...>.
There will be an informal discussion of DNS root KSK futures at IETF 103 on Friday, November 9, at 0900 local (Bangkok) time in room Chitlada 3. The purpose is to allow IETF participants to ask questions and propose ideas for how the DNS root KSK should be maintained in the future. Suggestions from the mic lines at recent meeting include suggestions for fixed rollover schedules, suggestions for data collection before the next rollover, standby KSKs and how they would affect the rollover schedule, and how resolver software vendors' actions can be taken into account. The discussion is expected to last for one hour or less.
