Apologies!

So the KMFs are the Key Management Facilities that are used to store and operate the extremely important set of private keys that sign the root zone of the internet for the DNSSEC.

https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/dnssec-qaa-2014-01-29-en

You can see what the facilities look like and one of the high trust ceremonies being performed at https://www.iana.org/dnssec/ceremonies/28

They are one of the few physical facilities that have extremely high security requirements and it would be useful for the team to understand where the contract for management of the KMFs stands and did it transfer to PTI as part of the IANA transition, as when it comes to the DNSSEC and the Key Ceremonies we still have a lot of overlap.

Hi James

Thanks for this. Would you be able to spell out the acronyms for those members of the team who are less familiar with the ICANN environment?

Best wishes

Emily

Hi Karen,

Also just putting in writing my request for John from the SSR side or the PTI team to set out the ownership and responsibility matrix for the KMFs as requested in the meeting.
