Subject: Call for Trusted Community Representatives<br>
To: <a href="mailto:root-dnssec-announce@icann.org">root-dnssec-announce@icann.org</a><br>
<br>
<br>
We are seeking interested individuals who wish to act as Trusted<br>
Community Representatives (TCRs). These individuals play an important<br>
role in managing the Root Zone Key Signing Key (KSK), the trust anchor<br>
for the global Domain Name System (DNS). By inviting recognized<br>
members of the DNS technical community to be part of the Root Zone<br>
KSK operations, the ICANN organization seeks to improve transparency<br>
and confidence in the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)<br>
security mechanism among the wider Internet community.<br>
<br>
About the TCR Role<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
TCRs serve as one of the multi-layered safeguards that protect the key<br>
material used to secure the DNS Root Zone.<br>
<br>
There are two primary types of TCRs: cryptographic officers, who are<br>
actively involved in Root Zone KSK ceremonies conducted throughout the<br>
year; and recovery key share holders, who are involved in our disaster<br>
recovery planning. The cryptographic officers make a commitment to<br>
travel to a least one Root Zone KSK ceremony per year.<br>
<br>
All TCRs maintain custody of essential pieces required for the<br>
successful operation of the Root Zone KSK. To guard against unauthorized<br>
access, management of the KSK is spread across multiple individuals who<br>
must come together to operate the key.<br>
<br>
TCRs are ambassadors on behalf of the broader technical and operational<br>
communities. To support trust in the system, TCRs report back to the<br>
community that the Root Zone KSK is being managed in an appropriate and<br>
trustworthy way.<br>
<br>
All TCRs need to maintain a state of readiness should there be an<br>
unforeseen need to hold a ceremony at short notice.<br>
<br>
Travel support is provided to TCRs who need to attend ceremonies. This<br>
support includes arranging and paying for airfare and accommodation, and<br>
providing a stipend for incidental costs.<br>
<br>
More Information<br>
----------------<br>
<br>
Those who are interested in applying to be a TCR are invited to review<br>
detailed materials posted on the IANA website, which includes the<br>
process to submit a statement of interest. Statements of interest will<br>
be collected and assessed to fill current vacancies, and in the event of<br>
new vacancies.<br>
