> By publicising the list of crypto officers ICANN aims to increase transparency in the normal process (no drills required). We have no reason to think that our last-resort options will ever be exercised, but we have planned for them nonetheless because this is an important system and all bases need to be covered.

I thought that was the original idea, to have a system that is based
on community trust.

I believe that the DNSSEC deployment team did a very good job, perhaps
the extra PR and hype  from ICANN generated some confusion but I don't
think that it was the actual source of such a rainfall of
misinformation.

I suggest that it should be seriously considered to revoke the role of
RKSH from the person that used that role to obtain publicity and self
promotion, and request the immediate return of all cryptographic
material. This is not something to get the guy on a limo an parade him
on the streets of his local town or have now every one included on the
public list interviewed by news outfits.

So much buzz around his role and comments about being part of the
"circle of trust" or "brotherhood" or anything similar discredits the
entire process.
