Call for Lightning Talks

  • Opening day
  • Submission deadline

Although the main Call for Presentations closed a few weeks ago, we have space for some Lightening Talks. These should last between 5 and 10 minutes each.

Please submit your proposals no later than 10:30 ICT on Monday May 13th, 2019.


The 30th DNS-OARC Workshop will take place at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand, on May 12th and 13th 2019, hosted by ICANN.

(Note that several co-located meetings are taking place immediately prior to the DNS-OARC Workshop, including the GDD Industry Summit, May 6th-9th, the Registrations Operations Workshop, May 9th, and the ICANN DNS Symposium, May 10th-11th.)

The Workshop's Program Committee is now requesting proposals for presentations. All DNS-related subjects are welcome.

A timeslot will also be available for lightning talks (5-10 minutes) on the afternoon of day two of the workshop. Submissions for lightning talks will be accepted closer to the start of the workshop and until the start of the morning session on day two.

There will be a Members-only session during the workshop, which will include reports on DNS-OARC's activities. If you are an OARC member and have a sensitive topic that you wish to present during that session those can be accommodated.

To allow the Programme Committee to make objective assessments of submissions, so as to ensure the quality of the workshop, submissions SHOULD include slides. Draft slides are acceptable on submission.

If you have questions or concerns you can contact the Programme Committee via submissions@dns-oarc.net

OARC depends on sponsorship to fund its workshops and associated social events. Please contact sponsor@dns-oarc.net if your organization is interested in becoming a sponsor.

position to reimburse expenses or time for speakers at its meetings.)
