Forwarding on behalf of OARC. -- Ngā mihi Felipe Agnelli Barbosa DNS Specialist InternetNZ | Ipurangi Aotearoa We are the home of .nz and we work for an Internet that benefits all of Aotearoa. www.internetnz.nz GPG: 95C1 8BDC EFA7 9CAC 303D 003E A058 2449 D152 8580 ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Cathy Almond <cathya@isc.org> Date: Fri, Feb 20, 2026 at 3:31 PM Subject: [dns-operations] OARC 46 Call for Contributions To: <dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net> This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 16-17 May 2026 Location - Edinburgh, Scotland Times - approximately 09:00-16:00 UTC (Local time BST is UTC +1 ) Adjacent to - RIPE 92 (18 - 22 May 2026, https://ripe92.ripe.net/) Deadline for Submissions - 2026-03-06 23:59 UTC https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/56/abstracts/ 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 For further details please see https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc46 Cathy Almond, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
