InternetNZ has already agreed to implement DNSSEC. Waiting for the resolution of the issue of "walking the zone" appears prudent.
The debate about "walking the zone" has centered on whether this is actually an issue, luminaries such as Joe Abley and Bill Manning have suggested that it is not. Others, well DPF, has suggested that it is.
Being the first ccTLD to implement DNSSEC in its current form, purely to satisfy a handful of NZNOGers, is hardly a responsible stewardship of the .nz namespace, imho.
I don't recall any one on this list advocating that .nz should be first, certainly I did not. Andy suggested that an implementation in .geek.nz would be a sensible trial to determine if the societies fears are be groundless or others. That the society wishes to ignore the views, however well informed, of a "handful of NZNOGers" speaks volumes about the need for industry membership of InternetNZ. Why pay money to be ignored when you can be ignored for free. -- Robert Gray bob(a)brockhurst.co.nz
