It is the position of L-root alone. (who happens to be an ICANN employee)
(all of the root server letters are run by independent organisations and I
certainly do not speak for them, nor the whole root server system)

No more or less that what is done for any other root service prefix.
(longer term monitoring for hijack etc)
We continue to hold the prefix, we may not announce the prefix, however
(as we all know) it is nigh on impossible to stop someone snooping the
wire.
