<font face="Calibri, sans-serif" class=""><span style="font-size: 15px;" class="">The theme for the ICANN DNS Symposium (IDS) 2020 is: "DNS ecosystem security: we're all in this together". As the DNS protocol and its ecosystem have matured, the risk tradeoffs
and threat landscape have evolved with it. IDS 2020 will focus on measurements and mitigation measures driven by continued progress led by community work.<br class="">
<br class="">
The first day will focus on measurements and statistics of all aspects of the DNS ecosystem. We expect to cover topics of interest for people from Internet service provider communities to application developers, and folks with registrar, registries, registrants
and user perspectives.<br class="">
<br class="">
The second day of the IDS will focus on changes in technology, protocols and operations, and the effects those changes have on the DNS for good or ill.</span></font></div>
