OARC 45 Call for Contributions
by Willem Toorop July 28, 2025

July 28, 2025

This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 7-8 October 2025 Location - Stockholm, Sweden Time - Approx 10:00 CEST (08:00 UTC) - 17:00 CEST (15:00 UTC) Adjacent to Netnod Tech Meeting 2025 (9 October 2025) (https://www.netnod.se/netnod-tech-meeting-2025) Deadline for Submissions - 2025-07-29 23:59 UTC https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/55/abstracts/ 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!) 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. If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas: 1. *Operations & Deployment* * Configuration management, deployment processes, and interoperability experiences. * Tools, tips, and making effective use of DNS software features. 2. *Performance, Resilience & Scaling* * Provisioning, load-balancing, and planning for resilience. * DNS performance management, efficiency improvements, and metrics. * Monitoring infrastructure: log pipelines, analytics, and anomaly detection. 3. *Security, Privacy & Policy* 1. DoS attacks, DNS abuse, DNSSEC signing and validation. 2. Privacy considerations, for example: encrypted transport, qname minimization, data anonymization. 3. Relevant global and regional policies, legislation, and compliance. 4. *Research & Innovation* 1. Data-driven testing, measurement, and analysis. 2. New protocols, protocol extensions, and next-generation namespace management. 5. *Lessons & Learnings* 1. Outage experiences, recovery stories, and cautionary tales For further details please see https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc45 Willem Toorop, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee

Proposed addition to RSSAC001v3 for expectations from RSSAC061
by Paul Hoffman May 30, 2025

May 30, 2025

Greetings again. During the RSSAC001v3 work party call yesterday, we discussed possibly adding the expectation from RSSAC061 to RSSAC001v3. There was a discussion about whether to add a new section, new callouts in existing sections, or both. My initial proposal is just the first; here is my proposed text. ===== 3.9 Changing IP Addresses [E.3.9-A] Each RSO is expected to adhere to all of the expectations listed in RSSAC061, "Guidelines for Changing IP Addresses". RSSAC061 gives guidance and expectations for RSOs that have already changed service IP addresses, and for those that will change service IP addresses in the future. The expectations in RSSAC061 are incorporated here by reference. These expectations can affect those already in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this document. ===== Comments are welcome. --Paul Hoffman

Proposed change to RSSAC001v3 to combine expectations 3.1.B and 3.2.A
by Paul Hoffman May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

Greetings again. During the RSSAC001v3 work party call yesterday, we discussed possibly combining expectations 3.1.B and 3.2.A. To do this, I propose copying the descriptive text from the beginning of 3.2 ("An RSO is expected to choose hardware, software, and other components that allow it to meet the protocol and deployment requirements specified in BCP 40.") to the end of the paragraph in 3.1 that starts "BCP 40 describes...", removing [E.3.2-A] entirely, and relettering the expectations in the rest of 3.2 up one letter. Comments are welcome. --Paul Hoffman

Nomination Period: RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee
by Ozan Sahin May 14, 2025

May 14, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, It is time to begin the selection process for the RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). The role is a two-year term beginning at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN84 in October 2025. Please refer to this page<https://www.icann.org/nomcom2025> for more information about the Nominating Committee. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v9: Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month nomination period via this distribution list is now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 28 April 2025. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates during its May teleconference. According to the Section 27.5(e)<https://www.icann.org/en/governance/bylaws#article27> of ICANN Bylaws, “For the Nominating Committee with a term commencing at the conclusion of ICANN General Meeting in 2025, only those seats identified in this Section 27.5(a)(i)-(iii) shall be filled, each for a two-year term. No person who served either or both of the Nominating Committees with terms ending at the ICANN Annual General Meeting in 2024 and 2025 shall be eligible for appointment to this term.” Therefore, Rao Naveed Bin Rais, who served on the 2024 ICANN NomCom as the RSSAC liaison, and Erum Welling, who has been serving on the 2025 ICANN NomCom as the RSSAC delegate, are ineligible for this appointment. The RSSAC Leadership appreciates your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Ozan Sahin on behalf of Jeff Osborn, RSSAC Chair and Ken Renard, RSSAC Vice Chair 1.2.7.6 Outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee The outgoing RSSAC Delegate to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be two years. No individual may serve as a delegate for more than two terms. In addition, no individual may serve in consecutive terms. An individual will only be eligible to serve a second term as a delegate on the Nominating Committee if a minimum of two years has elapsed between the end of their term and the beginning of the term for which they are being selected. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.7.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. 1.2.7.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison Election Procedure One month prior to each election, nominations will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. The RSSAC uses ranked choice voting, as outlined in Section 1.4.3 for electing outgoing liaison positions. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.

Including RSSAC061 in RSSAC001v3
by Paul Hoffman May 13, 2025

May 13, 2025

Greetings again. At the RSSAC001v3 work party meeting earlier today, I said that we don't necessarily need to update RSSAC001v2 unless there were requests from outside RSSAC and the Caucus. Duane pointed out to me that the recently-published RSSAC061 has some new expectations on RSOs. To me, that's a good enough reason to put them into RSSAC001 during the normal review cycle, which we are in now, so I think that a v3 seems fine. --Paul Hoffman
