Update your DNSSEC deployment maps: NIC Chile has indicated it will deploy DNSSEC in the .CL zone in 2010, the result of research since 2005 in partnership with NIC Labs, its research laboratory.  An internal testbed is already working and deployment is set for midyear.  NIC Chile will offer training, a public testbed and a forum for feedback from .CL users.  You can find more information in Spanish at the .CL DNSSEC website, or the English version.
