The DNSSEC Workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments. For reference, the most recent session was held at the ICANN meeting in Hyderabad, India on 07 November 2016. The presentations and transcripts are available at: <a href="https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czs/dnssec-workshop-part-1">https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czs/dnssec-workshop-part-1</a>, <a href="https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czt/dnssec-workshop-part-2">https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czt/dnssec-workshop-part-2</a>, and <a href="https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czu/dnssec-workshop-part-3">https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8czu/dnssec-workshop-part-3</a>. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>At ICANN58 we are particularly interested in live demonstrations of uses of DNSSEC or DANE.

In particular, we will consider the following questions: Are you interested in reporting on DNSSEC validation of your ISPs? What can DNSSEC do for you? What doesn't it do? What are the internal tradeoffs to implementing DNSSEC? What did you learn in your deployment of DNSSEC? We are interested in presentations from both people involved with the signing of domains and people involved with the deployment of DNSSEC-validating DNS resolvers.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>2.

In particular, we are seeking participation from vendors, ISPs, and the community that will be affected by distribution of new root keys. We would like to be able to offer suggestions out of this panel to the wider technical community. If you have a specific concern about the Root Key Rollover, or believe you have a method or solution to help address impacts, we would like to hear from you.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>3.
