Call for Participation -- ICANN DNSSEC Workshop at ICANN65, Marrakech, Morocco.

The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative and the Internet Society Deploy360 Programme, in cooperation with the ICANN Security 
and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), are planning a DNSSEC Workshop during the ICANN65 meeting held from 24-27 June 
2019 in Marrakech, Morocco.  The DNSSEC 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 ICANN Community Forum in Kobe, Japan on 13 March 2019. The 
presentations and transcripts are available at:  https://64.schedule.icann.org/meetings/961937, 
https://64.schedule.icann.org/meetings/961938,
and https://64.schedule.icann.org/meetings/961939.

The DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee is developing a 3-hour 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 ICANN65 workshop, or for consideration for future workshops.

1.  DNSSEC Activities Panel (Regional and global)
For this panel, we are seeking participation from those who have been involved in DNSSEC deployment in the region and 
also 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.   Now that DNSSEC has become an operational norm for many 
registries, registrars, and ISPs, what have we learned about how we manage DNSSEC? What is the best practice around key 
rollovers? 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?
If you have a specific concern about the Root Key Rollover, or believe you have a method or solution to help address 
impacts, we would like to hear from you.

2. 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 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?

We are interested in presentations related to any aspect of DNSSEC such as zone signing, DNS response validation, 
applications use of DNSSEC, registry/registrar DNSSEC activities, etc.  In addition, we welcome suggestions for 
additional topics.

If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) description of your proposed presentation to 
dnssec-marrakech () isoc org<mailto:dnssec-marrakech () isoc org> by **Friday, 17 May 2019**

Thank you,
Jacques
