I don't know that a discussion here will do more than just be an 
exchange amongst us chickens.  Unless the WG is trying to send an 
organized, coordinated message, comments are better directed at the 
address mentioned in the NoI.

Perhaps if you asked the question here, one of us may know the answer.

The procedure is quite simple.  Remember, they are just asking 
questions here, not making decisions, determinations, rulings, etc. 
A "NoI" is a Notice of Inquiry.  They do have quite an extensive list 
of questions in place - a help towards knowing how to address this, 
but they don't "require" any respondent to address them.

(Looking at other comments - where does it sound like you need to be 
a US citizen?  Anyone can send postal mail/fax/email.)

Here is what they are asking (for):

The Department seeks comments on DNSSEC deployment and a signed root 
generally, as well as specific details, comments, and evaluations of 
the various process flow models proposed or other process flow models 
that may otherwise be technically feasible to implement DNSSEC at the 
root zone level. Please include...

Here is where to send your comments:

Written comments may be submitted by mail to Fiona Alexander, 
Associate Administrator, Office of International Affairs, National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room 4701, Washington, DC 
20230.

Written comments may also be sent by facsimile to (202) 482-1865 or
electronically via electronic mail to DNSSEC at ntia.doc.gov.

And here is the "deadline:"

Comments are due on November 24, 2008
