We shall try to accommodate the time zone of virtual presenters in setting the agenda. The TechDay workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings since 2006 and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss technical topics related to registry and DNS work and security. We are specially interested in: 1. UA/IDN In this respect we are anticipating a round table organized by the ccNSO-UA Committee. Please engage with them via email at ccnso-uacommittee@icann.org, keeping us in copy at ccNSO-techday@icann.org. 2. DNS Abuse Prevention and Mitigation Tools 3. Best (security) management practices, lines of defense, to protect Registries from bad actors, attacks or malware, or even reports of failures 4. Open Source Tools that have been found helpful a) We would in particular like to hear about git based DNS zone management, especially simple setups usable as example for other (smaller) (cc|g)TLDs. b) We would also like to hear about further RDAP client implementations for the command line, devices and libraries. If there are enough proposals we might have round tables. 5. In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics If you are interested in presenting on any other topic, please email us at ccNSO-techday@icann.org or reply to this email. We hope that you can join us and request that you disseminate this Request to other lists where it might of interest. greetings, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
