Please try to find some time to look at the NTIA's suggestions and if possible send your comments to the list.
I don't know that a discussion here will do more than just be an exchange amongst us chickens. Unless the WG is trying to send an organized, coordinated message, comments are better directed at the address mentioned in the NoI.
I asked them a procedural question about the comment process and haven't received a reply. Maybe non-citizens aren't eligible to comment. 8-/
Perhaps if you asked the question here, one of us may know the answer. The procedure is quite simple. Remember, they are just asking questions here, not making decisions, determinations, rulings, etc. A "NoI" is a Notice of Inquiry. They do have quite an extensive list of questions in place - a help towards knowing how to address this, but they don't "require" any respondent to address them. (Looking at other comments - where does it sound like you need to be a US citizen? Anyone can send postal mail/fax/email.) Here is what they are asking (for): The Department seeks comments on DNSSEC deployment and a signed root generally, as well as specific details, comments, and evaluations of the various process flow models proposed or other process flow models that may otherwise be technically feasible to implement DNSSEC at the root zone level. Please include... Here is where to send your comments: Written comments may be submitted by mail to Fiona Alexander, Associate Administrator, Office of International Affairs, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room 4701, Washington, DC 20230. Written comments may also be sent by facsimile to (202) 482-1865 or electronically via electronic mail to DNSSEC@ntia.doc.gov.
