Hi all,
Happy new year!
8 weeks left before the next virtual ICANN DNSSEC & Security workshop. Let us know if you are interested to present.

Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC and Security Workshop for ICANN73  Community Forum

In cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), we are planning a DNSSEC and Security 
Workshop for the ICANN73 Community Forum being held virtually from 05-10 March 2022 in the Atlantic Standard  Time Zone 
(UTC -4). 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 session was held at the ICANN72 Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 27 
October 2021. The presentations and transcripts are available at 
https://72.schedule.icann.org/meetings/M24SJN375N2rcupnS,  https://72.schedule.icann.org/meetings/NQMcvSwdLbpdGPaz6, 
and https://72.schedule.icann.org/meetings/9g4P3ceRA8FGS34Ei.

The DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee is developing a program.  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 ICANN72 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?


  *   Do you still submit/accept DS records with Digest Type 1?
  *   What is the best practice around key roll-overs?
  *   What about Algorithm roll-overs?
  *   Do you use and support DNSKEY Algorithms 13-16?
  *   How often do you review your disaster recovery procedures?
  *   Is there operational familiarity within your customer support teams?
  *   What operational statistics have we gathered about DNSSEC?
  *   Are there experiences being documented in the form of best practices, or something similar, for transfer of 
signed zones?

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:


  *   Are there any policies directly or indirectly impeding your DNSSEC deployment? (RRR model, CDS/CDNSKEY automation)
  *   What are your most significant concerns with DNSSEC, e.g., complexity, training, implementation, operation or 
something else?
  *   What do you expect DNSSEC to do for you and what doesn't it do?
  *   What do you see as the most important trade-offs with respect to doing or not doing DNSSEC?

4. Security Panel
The program committee is looking for presentations on DNS, DNSSEC and Routing 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:


  *   Emerging threats that could impact the security and/or stability of the internet
  *   DoH and DoT
  *   RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure)
  *   BGP routing & secure implementations
  *   MANRS ( Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security)
  *   Browser security – DNS, DNSSEC, DoH
  *   EMAIL & DNS related security – DMARC, DKIM, TLSA, etc…

If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) description of your proposed presentation to 
dnssec-security-workshop () icann org<mailto:dnssec-security-workshop () icann org> by COB Friday, January 21 2022

Thank you,

Kathy and Andrew
