OK. I suggest to replace:
"RIPE welcomes the NTIA's consultation on the proposals to sign the root and is pleased to support that effort. We urge the NTIA to adopt a solution that leads to a prompt signed root zone. The solution must not compromise the stability and integrity of the root zone management process."
by:
"RIPE wants the root zone to be signed, in order to enable an easier deployment of DNSSEC."
and then go on with your text.
Stephane, this your text is somewhat abrupt. I do not consider it appropriate for any formal correspondance, far less something that represents the DNS WG and/or the RIPE community. Our response should be courteous and observe the expected niceties: like thanking NTIA for running a consultation and giving the world a chance to comment. Which the NTIA didn't *have* to do. I will try to construct something from your input that (a) is something the WG/RIPE community can accept as a consensus view; (b) observes the usual etiquette which both parties should follow.
