[ICANN-CSC] FW: [root-ksk-ceremony] Update on KSK Ceremony 41

[Naela Sarras]

Dear CSC Colleagues,

Per our discussion earlier today at the monthly CSC meeting about the upcoming KSK Ceremony, please find below an update from Kim Davies on the preparations for the ceremony and changes due to the current situation.

I will forward you any additional information that becomes as soon as possible.

Also, as James mentioned in the chat, you may want to consider joining the Root Zone KSK Ceremony Coordination mailing list https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/root-ksk-ceremony where a number of the DNSSEC community members discuss topics related to the KSK ceremonies.


Thank you,

Naela Sarras
Director, IANA Operations

Subject: [root-ksk-ceremony] Update on KSK Ceremony 41

Colleagues,

We are preparing for important changes to how we conduct KSK Ceremony 41.

In light of the global coronavirus pandemic, and the restrictions on personnel mobility, our team has assessed that our best approach for conducting the upcoming ceremony is to perform it using minimum personnel. Our approach has been informed by dialogue on this list and in other forums, and with our various partners.

We expect to hold the ceremony at the same time as originally scheduled of 23 April 2020, 1700 UTC. However, the ceremony will now be held in our west coast facility in El Segundo, California. The ceremony page has been updated with this detail: https://www.iana.org/dnssec/ceremonies/41

In preparation for this approach, we have been working with four trusted community representatives to securely transit their credentials to four trusted surrogates in the Los Angeles area.

These revised plans are subject to executive and board approval, expected later this week. Following formal approval we will share more comprehensive details.
