[Cathy Almond]

The deadline for OARC 44 abstract submission is extended to December 9, 
2024, at 23:59 UTC.

Thanks to those who already submitted, but we're still looking for more 
contributions. If you have something interesting to present and missed 
the chance last week, then this is your opportunity to still be part of 
the agenda for this event.

This workshop will be a hybrid event.

Date - 6-7 February 2025
Location - Atlanta Marriott Marquis - Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Time zone - EST (UTC -5)
Co-located with - NANOG 93

Deadline for Submissions -  2024-12-09 23:59 UTC

All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although 
we're particularly keen to hear 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.

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:

  - Operations: Experiences, interoperability concerns, tooling tips,
    lessons learned from or details/reasons for a recent outage (how to
    improve time to recovery, tooling for detection/mitigation),
    operational 'gotchas'...
  - 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: DoS experience, attacks on the DNS, DNSSEC signing and
    validation.
  - Privacy: Encrypted transports, qname minimization, data
    anonymization.
  - Resilience: Provisioning planning, load-balancing services, features
    (e.g. serve-stale)
