<div class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class="">
ICANN’s Office of the CTO is pleased to announce that the third ICANN DNS Symposium (IDS 2019) will be held 10-11 May 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand. IDS 2019 is co-locating with the fifth GDD Industry Summit (6-9 May 2019), the Registration Operations Workshop
- ROW (9 May 2019) and the OARC 30 Workshop (12-13 May 2019).<br class="">
<br class="">
The theme for IDS 2019 is: "Understanding the Security, Stability and Resiliency of the Domain Name System".<br class="">
<br class="">
IDS 2019 will comprise two days of presentations and panels focusing on emerging technologies, protocols and other issues that may affect the security, stability, or resiliency (SSR) of the Domain Name System. </font><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;" class="">We
invite members of research, academic, and operational communities to present experiences, data, or ideas related to the DNS as viewed through an SSR lens. </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;" class="">Specific topics of interest are measurement
and detection of activities that may impact the SSR of the DNS, as well as prevention of DNS abuse.</span></div>
