<div class=""><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;" class="">Dear colleagues,</span></div>
<div class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class="">
ICANN’s Office of the CTO is pleased to announce that the fourth ICANN DNS Symposium (IDS 2020) will be held 7-8 May 2020 in Paris, France. IDS 2020 is co-locating with the sixth GDD Industry Summit (3-6 May 2020), the Registration Operations Workshop - ROW
(6 May 2020) and the OARC 33 Workshop (9-10 May 2020).</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""></font><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">The theme for 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.</font></div>
<font face="HelveticaNeue" 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 to people from Internet service provider communities to application developers, and those 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.<br class="">
