Hi, We are planning to offer a full day of community-driven sessions on Wednesday, 11 November, immediately following the main OARC 47 workshop. We'd like to hear from the broader DNS and Internet operations community. What topics or activities would you like to see happen, and what could be realistically organized—or that you would be interested in helping organize? Recent workshop feedback included interest in tutorials and short training sessions, working group and interest group side meetings, BOFs, hackathons, tool demos, and operator round-tables. To make this useful, we need more than topic suggestions: we are especially looking for people who are willing to host a session, help organize one, or point us toward someone who has already expressed interest in leading a specific project, topic, or discussion. This additional day will not require a separate registration fee for OARC 47 attendees. We have conference rooms available from 08:30–16:30 on the 11 November. Each room can accommodate up to 15 participants and includes basic boardroom AV. The day is currently planned around the following schedule: * 08:30–10:00 session block * 10:00–10:30 morning coffee break * 10:30–12:00 session block * 12:00–13:00 lunch * 13:00–14:30 session block * 14:30–15:00 afternoon coffee break * 15:00–16:30 session block Sessions may use one or more blocks depending on the format, organizer availability, and room scheduling. Possible formats include: * hands-on tutorials * OARC tools training or demos * software demos * BOFs * hackathons * focused working group or interest group meetings (for instance standards or BCP discussions) * operator round-tables "help me brainstorm this problem" sessions If you are willing to host something, help organize something, or connect us with someone who may be a good lead for a specific session, please complete the following form by *24 August 2026 23:59 UTC*. Form Link <https://zfrmz.com/arOnEOkvgGa9UoqvwOGn> The form also includes a small section for attendee interest, but our immediate priority is identifying sessions with a potential host, organizer, or named point of contact. Submitting a proposal does not guarantee a confirmed room or time slot. OARC staff will review responses and follow up to confirm session details, timing, room fit, and any support needed. We hope this additional day can create space for practical work, smaller-group discussions, and hands-on knowledge sharing that can be difficult to fit into the regular workshop agenda. Best, Willem Toorop for the DNS-OARC
