Dear colleagues, It might still seem far away, but RIPE 93 in Sofia is approaching. The RIPE 93 meeting will be held from 26 to 30 October 2026. Our working group session is currently scheduled for 29 October at 11:00 local time, but please note that this may still change. This email is our official call for topics for the DNS Working Group session. Since RIPE 91, all plenary and working group proposals have been submitted through the same system, Pretalx. Please submit your proposals by 15 September 2026 using the following link: https://pretalx.ripe.net/ripe-93/cfp. Alternatively, you may still send your proposals directly to us at <dns-wg-chairs AT ripe.net>. If you are using Pretalx, please pay special attention to the following fields: • Talk type: "Lightning talk" or "Talk" • Track: "DNS WG" • Duration: Time in minutes for the presentation and Q&A. This may differ from the default duration for the selected talk type. You can find more information about the Pretalx system here: https://ripe93.ripe.net/present/how-to-submit-a-proposal/ As usual, participation in the working group session is possible both in person and remotely. We plan to send out the first round of notifications at the end of September 2026. Cheers, RIPE DNS Working Group co-chairs (Marc, Ulrich, and me)
