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.
You can also contact us directly at submissions(a)dns-oarc.net if you
would like to ask about the suitability of a potential presentation
submission topic.
The OARC 47 Call for Contributions is open!
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 expeiences.
- 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

Cathy Almond, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee
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:

For questions or issues please contact registry(a)internetnz.net.nz, for
updates please subscribe to the IRS Production > Zone Publish component of

In response to feedback from operational security communities,
CAIDA's source address validation measurement project
(https://spoofer.caida.org) is automatically generating monthly
reports of ASes originating prefixes in BGP for systems from which
we received packets with a spoofed source address.
We are publishing these reports to network and security operations
lists in order to ensure this information reaches operational
contacts in these ASes.
This report summarises tests conducted within nzl.
Inferred improvements during May 2026:
none inferred
Source Address Validation issues inferred during May 2026:
ASN Name First-Spoofed Last-Spoofed
45177 DEVOLI 2025-08-23 2026-05-21
Further information for these tests where we received spoofed
packets is available at:

Please send any feedback or suggestions to spoofer-info(a)caida.org
