InternetNZ will begin a DNSSEC Zone Signing Key rollover in our *current*
standby chain.
This should not affect the active chain used in DNS resolution for .nz.
The status and scheduling will be posted to status.internetnz.nz.
This will consist of two maintenance windows, in each window we will pause
zone distribution to make changes, perform validation, and resume zone
distribution for the following zones:
nz, ac.nz, co.nz, cri.nz, geek.nz, gen.nz, govt.nz, health.nz, iwi.nz,
kiwi.nz, maori.nz, mil.nz, net.nz, org.nz, parliament.nz, and school.nz
The first change window is on the following link:

All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although
we're particularly keen to hear more about operational and security
related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for
newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who
want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve
resilience, security and privacy. (These topics we think will complement
the usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to
receive!)
If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies
outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good,
we'll be happy to include it.
If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick,
here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas:
1. Operations & Deployment
- Configuration management, deployment processes, and
interoperability experiences.
- Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features.
2. Performance, Resilience & Scaling
- Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience.
- DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics.
- Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly
detection.
3. Security, Privacy & Policy
- DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation.
- Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname
minimization, data anonymization.
- Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance.
4. Research & Innovation
- Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis.
- New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace
management.
5. Lessons & Learnings
- Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales

Does anyone have any insights into the huge West Auckland fibre outage?
Area concerned, appears to be: Te Atatu - Piha - Helensville. Indicative
fix time of 24h, means something substantial happened.
