Over the last couple of years DNSSEC has become one of “the” topics for registry operators and DNS people.
The registry operator for .ie, the IEDR, has been working on their DNSSEC deployment plans for well over a year and earlier this morning opened up their “task force” to accredited registrars.
They would also appear to be interested in getting input from other members of the internet community, though it’s not clear when this will happen.
