(Note that several co-located meetings are taking place immediately prior to the DNS-OARC Workshop, including the GDD Industry Summit, May 6th-9th, the Registrations Operations Workshop, May 9th, and the ICANN DNS Symposium, May 10th-11th.) The Workshop's Program Committee is now requesting proposals for presentations. All DNS-related subjects are welcome.
