KSK Ceremony 42 Date and Plan

To Whom It May Concern, We are pleased to announce that the contingency plan for KSK Ceremony 42 has been approved by the ICANN Board, and 11 February 2021 has been selected for the ceremony date. KSK Ceremony 42 will be held at KMF West similarly to the previous KSK Ceremony 41 held 23 April 2020 with limited personnel; seven in-person local staff in attendance. Three quarters of signatures will be generated at KSK Ceremony 42. This will set the requirement for a follow up ceremony to 2021Q4. Live online streaming via YouTube will be available as usual for other observers and interested parties. Best regards, -- Andres Pavez Cryptographic Key Manager
