This message is forwarded on behalf of Sebastian Castro: ----- To our community: NZRS has completed today the deployment of DNSSEC for co.nz, enabling full validation for their sub-domains. All non-moderated second level domains now are DNSSEC-signed. InternetNZ has sent out a media release about this event http://tinyurl.com/crglf4z We also have added to our deployment calendar (http://nzrs.net.nz/dns/dnssec) the dates for the moderated second level domains. In summary, by the end of August the zones cri.nz, health.nz and iwi.nz will be signed. During the first two weeks of September, govt.nz, mil.nz, and parliament.nz will be signed, thus completing the DNSSEC schedule. Any DS records present in the registry for domains under those zones will be included as soon as the trust chain is completed. If you are keen to sign your domains, or they are already signed and need to submit DS records, a list of .nz Registrars who are either DNSSEC Friendly, or offer DNSSEC services can be found at http://dnc.org.nz/registrars Kind Regards, -- Sebastian Castro DNS Specialist .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535 Donald Neal Senior Network Engineer Direct: +64 9 929 2958 Mobile: 0278081023 Fax: +64 9 929 2959
