Hi,

I've focused my comments specifically on the section entitled "The Alternative Narrative, a Call To Action for Leaders”.

While I understand the desire to encourage DNSSEC and RPKI deployment at the leadership level, however if you’’re targeting policy makers and C-levels, I would strongly encourage a balanced, honest approach, one that highlights both the benefits as well as risks. From experience, I believe focusing only on (alleged) benefits and stretching applicability (almost beyond recognition) can be quite counter-productive when the inevitable failures (e.g., https://ianix.com/pub/dnssec-outages.htmlhttps://packetvis.com/blog/rpki-trust-anchor-malfunctions/) occur. 

FWIW.

Dear colleagues,

IGF DC IS3C invites you to participate in the consultation on positively enhancing the deployment of two Internet standards: DNSSEC and RPKI. You are invited to answer either of these questions: Do the arguments used to favor a positive decision, convince you to order deployment within your organisation or from your service provider? / Do they assist you to convince decision takers in your organisation to invest in security by design? You are invited to share your views and arguments with IS3C’s expert team and have been granted commenting rights in this document to do so. The consultation runs from 11 March to 12PM UTC, Friday 5 April 2024. Your contribution will be taken into consideration when finalising the text before publication this spring. Here is the link to the Google Doc:

We hope to receive your views so we can present the most convincing arguments to deploy DNSSEC, RPKI and all other security-related Internet standards and ICT best practices. (FYI, this project is sponsored by ICANN and RIPE NCC.)

Kind regards,

Wout de Natris
