To help our users be sure that they are prepared for the transition when it occurs we have prepared an Operational Notification concerning the KSK rollover: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01529/169/KSK-2010-Rollover.html If you are operating a server which performs DNSSEC validation we suggest that you take a few moments to read the notification and follow its suggestions to ensure that you are prepared when ICANN resume the root KSK rollover.
