Dear IETF colleagues,

I'd like to invite anyone interested in DNSSEC in the root zone to a session on "Upcoming ZSK and KSK Changes to the Root Zone" on Tuesday, 19 June, from 1230-1345 in the Bellevue Room in the InterContinental Hotel.  ICANN and Verisign, as IANA Functions Operator and Root Zone Manager, respectively, are cooperating on two projects that are changing aspects of DNSSEC operation in the root zone: the root zone ZSK is increasing in size from 1024 bits to 2048 bits<http://blogs.verisign.com/blog/entry/increasing_the_strength_of_the> and the root zone KSK will be changing<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ksk-rollover>.  Duane Wessels from Verisign and I will talk about the plans and answer any questions.

Because of the critical nature of the root zone and the significance of these changes, Verisign and ICANN are making a number of presentations to increase awareness.  We approached the IAB about a presentation in Berlin and they suggested this lunchtime slot.  We'd like to thank the IAB and the Secretariat for graciously offering a room.

Thanks and see you in Berlin,

Matt
