[lir-wg] DNSSEC training WHY?

I guess it's the fact that all LIRs pay for what RIPE decides to do for
"free".

Personally, I think it's a good thing to have a free DNS course, as DNS
servers are often horribly misconfigured and the way we use the net depend
on them.

The DNSSec et al however seems a tad exotic for a community funded course.

Actually, a lot of RIPE meetings (every?) have a great IPv6 tutorial for just 
that purpose. I took part in the one in Prague at RIPE-40 and it gave me most
of the background I needed to prepare for "my" networks participation in the
6net project. (It didn't prepare me for the anguish I would have to go through
to actually _get_ IPv6 addresses, but that's another story.)
