Hi Mahesh & other IESG members,

I have made final minor adjustments to the analysis text (mainly changing 
adjectives) so it flows nicely with the MUST key words from IESG review.

These changes are recorded here: 
https://github.com/desec-io/draft-ietf-dnsop-ds-automation/commit/7f51a39a300259b92e91567316c3e3e4c220788c

The new revision with all IESG feedback included is now available as -09.

Best,
Peter

Hi Mahesh,

Just a small heads-up:

- Authentication compromise:  If an attacker gains control of child

Also a good point. Same as above, I will post proposed text in Deb's review 
thread.

I had missed the word "zone" in "child zone signing keys". The concern only 
applies to SEP keys (that is, KSK or CSK), as this is the key that needs to sign CDS/CDNSKEY RRsets 
(see RFC 7344 Section 4.1). I'll phrase the security consideration accordingly.

Best,
Peter
