<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 2021) will be held 25-27 May 2021. This year's event will be virtual.</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 2021 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 2021 will focus on measurements and mitigation measures driven by excellent community work.</font></div>
<font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class="">
We are looking for presentations that would be of interest to Internet service providers, application developers, and those with registrar, registry, registrant, and user perspectives. We are also interested in presentations that focus on changes in technology,
protocols and operations, and the effects those changes have on the DNS for good or ill.<br class="">
<br class="">

<div class="">
<div class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">We are soliciting </font><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;" class="">presentation </span><span style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;" class="">proposals for topics of interest to these communities. Please
