Colleagues, The 30th DNS-OARC Workshop will take place at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand, on May 12th and 13th 2019, hosted by ICANN. (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. A timeslot will also be available for lightning talks (5-10 minutes) on day two of the workshop for which submissions will be accepted until the start of the morning session on day two.
