[dssa] questions about provisioning and DNSSEC for the Root and IANA zones

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all (but most especially you people who know how the root and IANA zones 
work),

i am wondering if somebody could fill the rest of us in on a couple 
architecture-level questions.  we took a stab at these on the call today but 
didn't have the right folks on the call to feel like we knew what we were 
doing.  here are the questions;

Root zone -- are there automated provisioning systems for the root zone (a 
parallel to the registry/registrar provisioning systems found at the TLD 
level)?  do those provisioning systems differ between the various root zone 
operators?

IANA zone -- is there an automated provisioning system for this zone?  is there 
DNSSEC on this zone?

thanks,

mikey
