Dear colleagues, please find below a proposed agenda for a DNS WG session at the upcoming RIPE26. 1. Opening & administrativa 2. Agenda bashing 3. Report from San Jose IETF (IRE(?) BOF) 4. Report from IAHC proposal debate (mailing list) 5. Collect & prepare RIPE feedback to IAHC 6. proposed root server from VBCnet 7. technical DNS issues (a) Status new DNS standards work (dnssec, dnsind) (b) new software status (c) any recent technical problems to discuss? 8. reports/news from various top level domains 9. AOB For the reporting items (3, 4, 7*, 8) I would like to ask for volunteers who participated or observed the events or processes to identify to me the kind offer to present a short summary report or position. I have included items 7. and 8. but consider those optional; if neither reports are offered nor priority requests for discussing specific issues are received I think these items should be dropped - as time will be short for the remaining items anyway.
