All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly

keen to hear more 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. (These topics we think will complement the

usual high-quality data-based research submissions we always hope to receive!)

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:

 1. Operations & Deployment

Configuration management, deployment processes, and interoperability experiences.

Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features.

2. Performance, Resilience & Scaling

Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience.

DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics.

Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly detection.

3. Security, Privacy & Policy

DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation.

Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname minimization, data anonymization.

Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance.

4. Research & Innovation

Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis.

New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace management.

5. Lessons & Learnings

Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales
