Description
The DNS ecosystem thrives on collaboration and shared knowledge. OARC provides critical platforms for these discussions, from the dns-operations mailing list and Mattermost server to the OARC meetings themselves. This panel will explore the potential for OARC to become the central hub for evaluating and shaping DNS Best Practices (BCPs). The discussion will focus on DNS-OARC as a proving ground for new ideas and improvements, a place to review, refine, or retire existing BCPs, and, importantly, to define the sometimes blurry line between desirable and recommended practices. The panel will emphasize that not all best practices are universally applicable, highlighting the importance of defining scope, especially considering the inherent link between zone content and operations.
Panelists bringing diverse perspectives to the conversation:
Stefan Ubbink (SIDN): TLD Operator (Authoritative)
Nicolai Leymann (Telekom): Operator
John Todd (Quad9): Operator (Resolver)
Tejas Karandikar (Microsoft): Developer
Suzanne Woolf (PIR): Expert advisor, Registry services
Ralf Weber (Akamai): Operator, Content Provider
Steve DeJong (Vercara): Operator (Authoritative)
Eddy Winstead (ISC): Vendor
Puneet Sood (Google): Resolver
This panel will underscore the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of DNS best practices.
