</p>
<p>All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome
although we're particularly keen to hear more about operational
and security related experiences, best practices and practical
advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have
been around for longer who want to learn more about new features
and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy.
(These topics we think will complement the usual high-quality
data-based research submissions we always hope to receive!)</p>
<p>If you have something interesting to share with the community
that lies outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if
it's good, we'll be happy to include it.</p>
<p>If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to
pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Operations & Deployment</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Configuration management, deployment processes, and
interoperability experiences.</li>
<li>Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software
features.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Performance, Resilience & Scaling</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and
metrics.</li>
<li>Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and
anomaly detection.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Security, Privacy & Policy</b></li>
<ul>
<li>DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation.</li>
<li>Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport,
qname minimization, data anonymization.</li>
<li>Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and
compliance.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Research & Innovation</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis.</li>
<li>New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation
namespace management.</li>
</ul>
<li><b>Lessons & Learnings</b></li>
<ul>
<li>Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales</li>
