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:

FYI, on behalf of the DNS-OARC team:
DNS-OARC and OARC, Inc. are planning to offer a full day of
community-driven sessions on Wednesday, 11 November, immediately following
the main OARC 47 workshop. We'd like to hear from the broader DNS and
Internet operations community. What topics or activities would you like to
see happen, and what could be realistically organized—or that you would be
interested in helping organize? Recent workshop feedback included interest
in tutorials and short training sessions, working group and interest group
side meetings, BOFs, hackathons, tool demos, and operator round-tables. To
make this useful, we need more than topic suggestions: we are especially
looking for people who are willing to host a session, help organize one, or
point us toward someone who has already expressed interest in leading a
specific project, topic, or discussion. This additional day will not
require a separate registration fee for OARC 47 attendees. We have
conference rooms available from 08:00–17:00 on the 11 November. Each room
can accommodate up to 15 participants and includes basic boardroom AV. The
day is currently planned around the following schedule: * 08:30–10:00
session block * 10:00–10:30 morning coffee break * 10:30–12:00 session
block * 12:00–13:00 lunch * 13:00–14:30 session block * 14:30–15:00
afternoon coffee break * 15:00–16:30 session block Sessions may use one or
more blocks depending on the format, organizer availability, and room
scheduling. Possible formats include: * hands-on tutorials * OARC tools
training or demos * software demos * BOFs * hackathons * focused working
group or interest group meetings (for instance standards or BCP
discussions) * operator round-tables * “help me brainstorm this problem”
sessions If you are willing to host something, help organize something, or
connect us with someone who may be a good lead for a specific session,
please complete the following form by [DATE]: 24 August 2026 23:59 UTC. >
Form Link <[

The form also includes a small section for attendee interest, but our
immediate priority is identifying sessions with a potential host,
organizer, or named point of contact. NOTE: Submitting a proposal does not
guarantee a confirmed room or time slot. OARC staff will review responses
and follow up to confirm session details, timing, room fit, and any support
needed. We hope this additional day can create space for practical work,
smaller-group discussions, and hands-on knowledge sharing that can be
difficult to fit into the regular workshop agenda. Best, DNS-OARC
