Today has the double effects of: 1) the change to Daylight Savings Time; and 2) getting up at 12:30 am US Eastern to be a remote participant in a 75-minute plenary panel session at #ICANN85 in Mumbai, India, about #InternetResilience !
We’ll see how I am doing by the end of the work day! 🤪
Are you doing something interesting with #DNS #security, #DNSSEC, routing security, or other forms of #Internet security that you would like to share with the wider (DNS-related) technical community?
If so, consider submitting a proposal for the "DNSSEC and Security Workshop" that will be held at ICANN 85 in Mumbai in March 2026.
Deadline is January 30. Note that you do NOT have to be in Mumbai (I will not be) - you can present remotely.
ICANN invites proposals for its DNSSEC and Security Workshop at the ICANN85 Community Forum in March 2026, offering a platform for global experts to share insights on DNS, routing security, and emerging threats.
