DNS wg co-chair selection: candidates
by Shane Kerr 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Colleagues, The deadline for the DNS co-chair candidate volunteering is now over. We have a single excellent candidate. The period to express support (or concern) for the candidate starts now and runs until Wednesday, 26 October 2022. Below find a few words from the candidate. ======================================================================== Willem Toorop I propose myself as a candidate to follow-up Shane as DNS working group co-chair. DNS has been the focus of my working life for the past 12 years and I've been loving it. The DNS has a lively, creative and very pleasant technical community and I truly enjoy working in and with that community. DNS plays (more and more) a central role in the tussle around the responsibilities and the capabilities of the different stakeholders on the Internet (i.e. the content vs network operators vs end-users). A good venue for this debate is the RIPE DNS working group. A well balanced program on the RIPE DNS working group is crucial for forming a well-founded point of view for all the participants in this debate. I think that I, as an open source DNS software developer, have a good perspective on the DNS world, the current state of the art and the possible future directions of development, and that I am in a good position to help out in assembling such a program. Sorry if the previous paragraph sounds (a bit) pompous. I just want to say that I would love to help out to put in the spotlight a well balanced selection of all the interesting new stuff that's going on in the DNS and that I think it is very important to do so too! Also, I am a huge fan of the current co-chairs João and Moritz (and of course Shane too!!!) and I would be honored and delighted to work with you guys! ======================================================================== Cheers, -- Shane on behalf of the DNS WG co-chairs

Panel discussion on learnings from deploying encrypted DNS at scale
by Andrew Campling 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Participants on this list may be interested in catching up with a panel discussion that took place on my weekly call last Monday - the recording is accessible here<https://419.consulting/encrypted-dns/f/what-have-we-learned-so-far-part-2>. The discussion focused on learnings from the deployment and scaling of encrypted DNS resolvers with leading experts from across the industry. This is the second panel on this topic, building on the discussion that took place in May (here<https://419.consulting/encrypted-dns/f/what-have-we-learned-so-far-part-2>). The panel again featured senior people in the industry with significant DNS experience, namely: Joe Crowe from Comcast; Puneet Sood of Google; Otto Moerbeek of Open-Xchange; Paul Adair from Infoblox; Ralf Weber from Akamai. The discussion covered a range of issues, sharing both experiences from current deployments as well as giving an indication of forthcoming features in some of the leading DNS software. Andrew
