OARC 41 will be a two-day hybrid meeting and the tentative dates are 6th and 7th September to be co-located with ICANN DNS Symposium in Asia.

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:

Operations: Any operational gotchas, lessons learned from an outage, details/reasons for a recent outage (how to improve TTR, tooling).
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/Privacy: DNSSEC signing and validation, key storage, rollovers, qname minimization, DoH/DoT

The presentations can be either 10 or 20 minutes in length (plus 5 minutes for Q&A). Proposals for in-person lightning presentations will be opened at the Workshop.
