| Recommendation | Description | Current Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Recommendation 1 | The root zone maintainer and root server operators should verify and confirm that the addition of a ZONEMD resource record will in no way negatively impact the distribution of root zone data within the RSS. | Phase 5 | Close |
| Recommendation 2 | The DNS and Internet community should be made aware of plans to use ZONEMD in the root zone, and be given an opportunity to offer feedback.

| Recommendation 4 | Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) and the RZM should jointly develop a plan for deploying ZONEMD in the root zone, and make this plan available for review by RZERC. | Phase 5 | Close |
