Description:

This publication represents the full SSAC input to the Proposal for Future Root Zone KSK Rollovers ICANN Public Comment Proceeding.

The SSAC reviewed the proposal in order to assure itself, and others, that the proposal will not introduce any stability or reliability issues to the root zone, the Root Server System (RSS), or the larger DNS ecosystem. Overall, the SSAC finds no issue with the proposal that should prevent the IANA from moving forward, and would like to thank the IANA for developing a strong proposal. The SSAC does find some aspects of the proposal could use more detailed explanations and further consideration, and expects IANA to produce a more detailed final plan for public consultation prior to rolling the KSK again. This comment also includes future considerations that IANA should take into account for subsequent rollovers.
