<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Andy,<br>
<br>
Steve at OARC reaching out. I was looking forward to meeting you
in person at the DSC+ Grafana information exchange session and </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">hoping to
share more of the changes we have made since COX terminated
Membership</font></font>. Maybe next time OARC and/or I am in
Atlanta, we can connect? </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">.<br>
<br>
</font>We did launch a Mentor program at OARC workshops, which
comes directly from the conversation you and I had in 2021. The
idea is to introduce folks to other attendees and be sure
newcomers feel welcome and secure, which as you pointed out was
missing from OARC Workshops. Jerry will be offering more
DSC+Grafana information transfer sessions with remote attendance
options, so please watch the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net">dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net</a>
mailing list for more announcements on when these will be held.
They are typically free to Active OARC Member Contacts, but tend
to be pretty economical. In the case of larger Orgs, Jerry could
hold a command performance for COX as long as the interest
justifies it. Still, there will be other sessions open as we have
done in the recent past.<br>
<br>
Do you attend any other DNS-centric events throughout the year?
Our next workshop will likely be in Vietnam collocated with IDS,
which we expect to see more than the usual subjects as its been a
while since OARC and ICANN have been in that region. There is a
Hackathon coming up in May too at the RIPE NCC RIPE 86 in
Rotterdam that OARC is cosponsoring with RIPE and Netnod. Teams
are forming now, and its be great to see a COX team participate.
These are also great opportunities to meet other experts in the
DNS Space. More info on that is available here:

<br>
I look forward to hearing back from you.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
