KSK CEREMONY 3

The third KSK ceremony for the root zone will take place in Culpeper, VA, USA on Monday 2010-11-01. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1300 local time (1700 UTC) and is expected to end by 1900 local time (2300 UTC).

Video from Ceremony 3 will be recorded for audit purposes. Video and associated audit materials will be published 1 to 2 weeks after the ceremony, and will be available as usual by following the "KSK Ceremony Materials" link at https://www.iana.org/dnssec/.

ICANN will operate a separate camera whose video will not be retained for audit purposes, but which will instead be streamed live in order to provide remote observers an opportunity to watch the ceremony. The live stream will be provided on a best-effort basis. The live video stream will be available at http://dns.icann.org/ksk/stream/.

Ceremony 3 will include processing of a Key Signing Request (KSR) generated by VeriSign, and the resulting Signed Key Response (SKR) will contain signatures for Q1 2011, for use in the root zone between 2011-01-01 and 2011-02-28.
