All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear 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.

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:

• Operations: Experiences, interoperability concerns, tooling tips, lessons learned from or details/reasons for a recent outage (how to improve time to recovery, tooling for detection/mitigation), operational 'gotchas'...
• Deployment: DNS config management and release process.
• Monitoring: Log ingestion pipeline, analytics infrastructure, anomaly detection.
• Scaling: DNS performance management and metrics. Increasing DNS server efficiency.
• Security: DoS experience, attacks on the DNS, DNSSEC signing and validation.
• Privacy: Encrypted transports, qname minimization, data anonymization.
• Resilience: Provisioning planning, load-balancing services, features (e.g. serve-stale)
