Anyway, now it's time for comments. It would be helpful if you contribute alternate text along with any clarifications or remarks. ie Please don't just say "Point X is unclear/confusing". Please say why it's confusing and suggest better wording. If we are to reach consensus by this weekend, the discussion needs to be focused and direct.

10. The organisation that generates the root zone file must hold the private part of the zone signing key.
the imperative in this point is made with zero justification. why the "must hold"? I think a more pragmatic reply (if the previous points are to be respected) would be something along these lines: 10. The organization that generates the root zone file must sign the file and therefore must hold the private part of the zone signing key. or 10. The organization that generates the root zone file must have unfettered access to the zone signing key components. I have a slight inclination towards the second. --bill
