No sorry what are the specific issues, i.e. In understanding the KSK and ZSK keys, in documentation etc? Do DNS engineers at hosting companies really not understand it?



Because there is a large amount of documentation out there for example on configuring DNSSEC in Bind and while yes deploying at scale is a risk that registrars would need to analysise and take an internal risk position on Im not sure I understand the ‘even the most experienced engineers don’t understand it’ part of the question.



The rest I do for sure, adoption of DNSSEC is a big topic, but there is huge amount son work going on in both ICANN and ISOC supporting registrars who wish to move down that path in a stable and secure path. ISOC has documentation specifically targeting at registrars http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/resources/dnssec-registrars/ I know the RrSG has done some work for ones that are involved in that, there is also Deplay360 from ISOC http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/dnssec/ and a lot of community support behind it from a technical perspective for those interested. 



My question would be what is the thing that needs to be done to promote adoption, and from what I have seen so far its usually risk aversion on the business side, and that’s not something that we can do much about from the ICANN side of things, something I feel ISOC should focus on more tho.
