(I believe this has been posted before, but to have a post-holiday period ³refesher²:) ICANN, as the IANA functions operator, in cooperation with Verisign as the Root Zone Maintainer and the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) as the Root Zone Administrator, together known as the Root Zone Management (RZM) partners, seek to develop a plan for rolling the DNS root zone key-signing key (KSK). The KSK is used to sign the root zone zone-signing key (ZSK), which in turn is used to DNSSEC-sign the Internet¹s root zone. The Root Zone Partners are soliciting five to seven volunteers from the community to participate in a Design Team to develop the Root Zone KSK Rollover Plan (³The Plan²). These volunteers along with the RZM partners will form the Design Team to develop The Plan. Individuals interested in volunteering approximately 5 hours per week for the Design Team should consult the announcement: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ksk-soi-11dec14-en.pdf and submit their Statement of Interest to ksk-rollover-soi@icann.org no later than January 16, 2015.
