The OARC 47 Call for Contributions is open but is closing soon - if you are planning to submit a talk, please don't leave it too late and miss the deadling!

This workshop will be a hybrid event.

Date - 09-10 November 2026
Location - Vancouver, British Columbia

Times - approximately 10:00-17:00 PDT (Local time PDT is UTC -7; note that British Columbia has opted to remain on PDT all year round)

Deadline for Submissions - 2026-08-24 23:59 UTC

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. You can also contact us directly at submissions () dns-oarc net if you would like to ask about the suitability of a potential presentation submission topic.

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
