I would suggest that again they should all be non commercial organizations and represent Internet users from all parts of the globe, for this reason I would suggest that maybe the current RIR's (ARIN, AFRINIC, RIPE, LACNIC and APNIC) would be ideal groups to perform this function.
Like this? http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-45/presentations/ripe45-techsec-ksk-m... http://www.arin.net/meetings/minutes/ARIN_XI/PDF/Tuesday/11_keys_Ihren.pdf Don't know if there was one at APNIC. (LACNIC and AFRINIC weren't in place then.) Five and a half years ago. There were a series of pitches to the RIRs to take the role of KSK monitors. They said "no thanks, we are IP numbers, not Domain Names." Something about separation of duties, not wanting to be tied to the ICANN role, etc. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Never confuse activity with progress.
