OARConline 35a is around the corner and will be taking place online on

September 8th at 15:00 UTC. Registrations are now open at

OARC 36 will be an online meeting on November 29th & 30th starting at

10:00 UTC. The Programme Committee is seeking contributions from the

community.

All DNS-related subjects and suggestions for discussion topics are

welcome. For inspiration, we provide a non-exhaustive list of ideas:

- Deployment: Managing DNS changes and propagation, release process,

change management.

- Monitoring: Log ingestion pipeline, analytics infrastructure,

anomaly detection.

- Scaling: Managing service capacity, failovers, disaster recovery.

As it is an online workshop, we'd like to encourage brevity;

presentations should not be longer than 20 minutes (with additional

time for questions).

**Workshop Milestones:**

* 25 August 2021 - Submissions open via Indico

* 1 October 2021 - Deadline for submission (23:59 UTC)

* 11 October 2021 - Initial Contribution list published

* 1 November 2021 - Full agenda published

The Registration page and details for presentation submission are published at:

DNS-OARC provides registration fee waivers for the workshop to support

those who are part of underrepresented groups at DNS-OARC. See the

registration page for details.

To allow the Programme Committee to make objective assessments of

submissions, so as to ensure the quality of the workshop, submissions

SHOULD include slides. Draft slides are acceptable on submission.

Additional information for speakers of OARC 36:

* your talk will be broadcast live and recorded for future reference

* your presentation slides will be available for delegates and others

to download and refer to, before, during and after the meeting

* you will be expected to attend a rehearsal on November 16th. It

would be very useful to have your slides (even if draft) ready for

this.
