ICANN SSAC Survey on the anticipated impacts of open source regulation on the DNS infrastructure
by Maarten Aertsen 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

hello DNS wg, I ask for your help to inform policy makers of specific concerns in the DNS community. ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee [1] is attempting to document the operational reliance on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in the Internet’s domain name infrastructure to inform policy discussions regarding the security of software and critical infrastructure. Our work aims aim to clear up misinformed assumptions by regulators and policy makers that may threaten the FOSS development and supply model, impacting operators of the Internet’s domain and routing systems. Please contribute your professional experience and opinion with a response to an anonymous qualitative survey: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/SSAC-open-source-software-in-DNS-and-r… Our report will be published on the ICANN website [2], with a target publication date in June. The survey will be closed for new submissions at the end of February anywhere on earth. Considering many of you use open source DNS implementations ever day, we ask you to help us make visible the scope and scale of FOSS in Internet infrastructure and share positive/negative impact of regulation you anticipate on the infrastructure you support. kind regards, Maarten [1] https://www.icann.org/en/ssac [2] https://www.icann.org/en/ssac/publications # What is SSAC? The Security and Stability Advisory Committee advises the ICANN community and ICANN Board on security and integrity matters related to Internet naming and address systems. We perform ongoing threat assessment and risk analysis to assess principal threats to stability and security of these systems. SSAC publications are available from https://www.icann.org/en/ssac/publications # What software are you looking at? Our focus is on recursive & authoritative nameservers, RDAP/WHOIS, EPP/registry and escrow functions. # Anonymous? We use the European Commission's EUsurvey tool, configured not to log IP addresses or other information with the potential to identify you. Your (anonymous) comments may be reprinted as entered in the report, if there is personally identifying information / personal data included in your comments, we will edit that from your remarks. -- Maarten Aertsen senior internet technologist, NLnet Labs

Sunsetting ns.ripe.net - Final Cleanup - Wednesday, 15 January
by Anand Buddhdev 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, On Wednesday 15 January, we'll be moving on to the final phase of removing our secondary DNS service for LIRs (ns.ripe.net) and updating all associated objects in the RIPE Database. This update will remove the "nserver: ns.ripe.net" attribute from them. I am happy to report that 93% of the zones have been updated and stopped using ns.ripe.net as a secondary name server. The remaining zones that have not been updated will not be affected because they will have at least one working name server after this update. Therefore, we do not expect the DNS resolution of these zones to fail. The full sunsetting plan, published last year, is available on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/anandb/retiring-nsripenet/ Regards, Anand Buddhdev

Re: [Ext] Reminder: New KSK Publication in DNS Root Zone
by Andres Pavez 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

Please note that there is a mistake with the time in my previous email. The new Key Signing Key (KSK) will be published in the DNS root zone on January 11 around 06:00 UTC, not 00:00 UTC as originally stated. Best regards, -- Andres Pavez Cryptographic Key Manager On 1/7/25, 11:39, "Andres Pavez" <andres.pavez(a)iana.org <mailto:andres.pavez@iana.org>> wrote: This is a reminder that the new Key Signing Key (KSK) will be published in the DNS root zone starting January 11 at 00:00:00 UTC. This will start the process of adoption of this trust anchor in RFC 5011 aware resolvers. We encourage operators to pay attention during this process to monitor for any unexpected consequences. Publishing the KSK is part of the process of ensuring widespread adoption of the KSK prior to its use in signing, currently scheduled for October 2026.

by Willem Toorop 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

The deadline for OARC 44 abstract submission is extended to December 9, 2024, at 23:59 UTC. Thanks to those who already submitted, but we're still looking for more contributions. If you have something interesting to present and missed the chance last week, then this is your opportunity to still be part of the agenda for this event. This workshop will be a hybrid event. Date - 6-7 February 2025 Location - Atlanta Marriott Marquis - Atlanta, Georgia, USA Time zone - EST (UTC -5) Co-located with - NANOG 93 Deadline for Submissions - 2024-12-09 23:59 UTC All DNS-related subjects and discussion topics are welcome although we're particularly keen to hear about operational and security related experiences, best practices and practical advice; both for newcomers to the DNS arena and those who have been around for longer who want to learn more about new features and opportunities to improve resilience, security and privacy. If you have something interesting to share with the community that lies outside of the focus above, please don't be put off - if it's good, we'll be happy to include it. If you'd like to offer a talk, but are not quite sure what to pick, here's a non-exhaustive list of ideas: * *Operations*: Experiences, interoperability concerns, tooling tips, lessons learned from or details/reasons for a recent outage (how to improve time to recovery, tooling for detection/mitigation), operational 'gotchas'... * *Deployment*: DNS config management and release process. * *Monitoring*: Log ingestion pipeline, analytics infrastructure, anomaly detection. * *Scaling*: DNS performance management and metrics. Increasing DNS server efficiency. * *Security*: DoS experience, attacks on the DNS, DNSSEC signing and validation. * *Privacy*: Encrypted transports, qname minimization, data anonymization. * *Resilience*: Provisioning planning, load-balancing services, features (e.g. serve-stale) For further details please see https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc44 Willem Toorop, for the DNS-OARC Programme Committee
