It's time to build a road map and identify any difficulties that have to be overcome. The next step is for prospective vendors, network operators and large users to get involved. We are holding a pair of one day meetings, Monday, May 3 in Amsterdam in conjunction with the RIPE meeting, and Sunday, May 23 in San Francisco in conjunction with the NANOG meeting. These meetings will be small, interactive workshops to extend the DNSSEC community and identify the hurdles. We invite interested parties to come to one or both meetings. These meetings have put together on short notice and we recognize that not everyone who is interested will be able to come. These meetings are just a first step. Notes from the meeting will be posted and other meetings will take place over the next several months. This is a community based, international effort. These meetings are being organized with the support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. National Institutes of Standards and ICANN. Sponsorship will expand over the next several months. This work is open and will be reported on the net at http://www.sdl.sri.com/other/dnssec/
