Federal government is interested in how to effectively communicate to the
infrastructure operators the importance and risks of not upgrading the

Just tell them to call the head of DoC and explain why is so important and
imperative to come up with an acceptable/reasonable signing authority and
enable the deployment of DNSSEC. The patch is just a workaround, it does not
fix the underlying problem that has been there for very long time.
