I want to put pressure on the .social TLD so they can implement DNSSec, however the company I purchased the domain name is simply a reseller (NameCheap).

I don't think that opening a ticket with them is as effective as contacting the TLD owner itself.

How should I identity and ask a given TLD Owner to implement DNSSec?

The steps I tried include

  • Checking with Internic, and see who the registrars are
  • It is difficult to open a ticket if you don't already own a domain from those resellers

What is the best way to proceed?

The TLD is signed, maybe move registrars?

Only these TLDs are supported by Namecheap, however you could always try to add DS records yourself. but only if your zone is using Custom NS.

Currently Supported TLDs: .com .net .info .io .bid .cloud .college .design .feedback .security .top .trade .webcam .xyz
