Ah. Well, there we go then... this seems to be *exactly* what I was
looking for -- seeing as there were a number of folk also kvetching
about the lack of announcements, I'm guessing other folk also didn't
know about this list...

For easy signup:
root-ksk-ceremony at icann.org
or

Perfect. Thank you.

> For future ceremonies we will make a point to send these to root-dnssec-announce also, and if the members here want them sent to this list too as well we can do that also. I don’t want to flood operational or announcement lists with too many notifications, particularly for routine events like these, given there is probably a lot of overlap of membership and interest in it is likely fairly limited.

Yup - I think that those who care can subscribe to root-ksk-ceremony.
If you also send a "This is happening today / tomorrow" email, perhaps
jsut include a pointer to root-ksk-ceremony ?

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
