Hello everyone, I believe most of the people on this list have heard of ICANN's KINDNS initiative (www.kindns.org). For those of you who haven't, here's the chance :)
KINDNS was launched last September, and nearly 1 year on, we (Raffaele Sommese of U. Twente and myself) thought it'd be interesting to try and assess uptake of KINDNS by operators. We'd also like to figure out what, if any, challenges were encountered in the process. Even if you've already done the right things as part of your usual engineering practices, and it was just a matter of checking the right boxes, we'd like to hear from you, too! We've put together a Google Form here: https://forms.gle/nuE4GSEY5i8YgqAo7 We'd appreciate it if you could spare 10-15 minutes of your time to go through this. The plan is to present the results in a talk at the upcoming IDS (ICANN DNS Symposium) taking place in Da Nang, Vietnam, on September 5th. https://www.icann.org/ids We'll close the survey on the 31st of August - but the earlier we get responses, the more interesting the data will be. Below is the abstract for the proposed talk (to be confirmed). At any rate, we'll be posting results here, too. "KINDNS is an ICANN initiative aimed at promoting voluntary operational and security best current practices (BCPs) for authoritative and recursive DNS operators. By compiling a comprehensive collection of BCPs through community consultation and wide acceptance as beneficial for DNS infrastructure operations, KINDNS seeks to establish a more robust and reliable foundation for the global DNS ecosystem. The extent to which operators actually integrate these BCPs into their practices, and the effectiveness of such integration in enhancing the overall resilience of the DNS infrastructure, remain subjects of ongoing discussion. Presently, KINDNS relies on operators' self-registration and self-assessment. In this presentation, our focus is to explore the metrics and measurements that can be employed to gauge the adoption and impact of KINDNS's best practices on the stability and the security of the DNS ecosystem. Additionally, we aim to outline the challenges inherent in evaluating the impact of practices that may not be directly quantifiable from an outsider perspective but can have a significant impact on DNS operations."
