Office of the Chief Technology Officer is pleased to announce that the fifth ICANN DNS Symposium (IDS 2022) will be held on 15-16 November 2022 in Brussels, Belgium. IDS 2022 will be co-located with the first ever IANA Community Day on 17 November 2022. A

has been a move toward centralization in the Domain Name System (DNS): the devices of more than 20% of Internet users are configured to use public resolvers, according to some studies; a small set of registry service providers are responsible for a large set
of top-level domains; an attack against a single service provider’s infrastructure can affect a large percentage of Internet users. At the same time, there are more public resolver services and more top-level domains than ever. This prompts the question, “Is
the DNS overly centralized or adequately diversified?” ICANN invites speakers to present topics on centralization and diversification in the DNS. Presentations could include measurements and fact-based predictions, discussions about risk mitigation and scalability
in relation to either greater or lesser centralization, greater or lesser diversity, or both.</span></div>

Community Day is a half-day workshop focused on key technical evolution projects within IANA relating to the DNS. Topics will include a discussion of how to perform a DNSSEC algorithm rollover for the DNS root zone, and reviewing and updating the TLD technical
requirements for root zone changes. TLD managers, DNS experts, and other interested parties are encouraged to attend.</span></div>
