The obvious question there would be what steps ICANN will take to get
secure DNS widely deployed quickly.

One reference site is:
http://www.toad.com/dnssec/index.html

A closely related, and I think important, question is how the signing
of zones will work. Methinks there's a risk Verisign will try to tie
the whole thing to their technology, acquire a big new market. This is
understandable, but not a good idea.

Methinks this raises some policy issues for ICANN.
