This is not a complete plan, but the goal of the report is:

    operational recommendations intended to guide the RZM Partners in
    producing a detailed impl ementation plan for executing the first
    Root Zone KSK rollover.

So yes, the final plan will be limited by the current situation. We
are talking about a key roll-over with minimal disruption.

If there are comments to make to the report, make then on the Comments
Forum <http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-root-ksk-06aug15>. That
way there is a better chance they get noticed.
