Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC and Security Workshop for ICANN76 Community Forum

 

In cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), we are planning a DNSSEC and Security Workshop for the ICANN76 Community Forum being held as a hybrid meeting from 11-16 March 2023 in the Eastern Time Zone (GMT -5). This workshop date will be determined once ICANN creates a block schedule for us to follow; then we will be able to request a day and time. The DNSSEC and Security Workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments.  For reference, the most recent sessions were held at the ICANN75 Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, 21 September 2022. The presentations and transcripts are available at https://75.schedule.icann.org/meetings/hvW7BbDtvbw4hoSTx, https://75.schedule.icann.org/meetings/WLtBZqEydncda7Dsr, and https://75.schedule.icann.org/meetings/8jcmXcKTEoPTr3NQw.

 

 The DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee is developing a program for the upcoming meeting.  Proposals will be considered for the following topic areas and included if space permits.  In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics either for inclusion in the ICANN75 workshop, or for consideration for future workshops.

 

1.  Global DNSSEC Activities Panel

For this panel, we are seeking participation from those who have been involved in DNSSEC deployment as well as from those who have not deployed DNSSEC but who have a keen interest in the challenges and benefits of deployment, including Root Key Signing Key (KSK) Rollover activities and plans.

 

2.  DNSSEC Best Practice

Now that DNSSEC has become an operational norm for many registries, registrars, and ISPs, what have we learned about how we manage DNSSEC?  

 

 

Activities and issues related to DNSSEC in the DNS Root Zone are also desired.

 

3. DNSSEC Deployment Challenges

The program committee is seeking input from those that are interested in implementation of DNSSEC but have general or particular concerns with DNSSEC.  In particular, we are seeking input from individuals that would be willing to participate in a panel that would discuss questions of the following nature:

 

 

4. Security Panel

The program committee is looking for presentations on DNS, DNSSEC, routing and other topics that could impact the security and/or stability of the Internet. 

 

We are looking for presentations that cover implementation issues, challenges, opportunities and best practices for:
