<BR>
Please take note that ICANN has opened a comment period on PIR’s proposed implementation of DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) in .ORG. See <a href="http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-23apr08.htm.">http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-23apr08.htm.</a><BR>
<BR>
Comments received by 23:59 UTC 24 May 2008 will be considered by the RSTEP Review Team handling the PIR proposal. The RSTEP Report is due by 5 June 2008, but could be released before that date. The expectation is that the RSTEP Report and comments will be considered by the ICANN Board in Paris.<BR>
<BR>
Please let me know if you have any questions.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
<BR>
