Hi,
We are planning to offer a full day of community-driven sessions on Wednesday,
11 November, immediately following the main OARC 47 workshop.
We'd like to hear from the broader DNS and Internet operations community. What
topics or activities would you like to see happen, and what could be
realistically organized—or that you would be interested in helping organize?
Recent workshop feedback included interest in tutorials and short training
sessions, working group and interest group side meetings, BOFs, hackathons,
tool demos, and operator round-tables.
To make this useful, we need more than topic suggestions: we are especially
looking for people who are willing to host a session, help organize one, or
point us toward someone who has already expressed interest in leading a
specific project, topic, or discussion.
This additional day will not require a separate registration fee for OARC 47
attendees.
We have conference rooms available from 08:30–16:30 on the 11 November. Each
room can accommodate up to 15 participants and includes basic boardroom AV.
The day is currently planned around the following schedule:
- 08:30–10:00 session block
- 10:00–10:30 morning coffee break
- 10:30–12:00 session block
- 12:00–13:00 lunch
- 13:00–14:30 session block
- 14:30–15:00 afternoon coffee break
- 15:00–16:30 session block
Sessions may use one or more blocks depending on the format, organizer
availability, and room scheduling.
Possible formats include:
- hands-on tutorials
- OARC tools training or demos
- software demos
- BOFs
- hackathons
- focused working group or interest group meetings (for instance standards or
BCP discussions)
- operator round-tables
- "help me brainstorm this problem" sessions
If you are willing to host something, help organize something, or connect us
with someone who may be a good lead for a specific session, please complete the
following form by *24 August 2026 23:59 UTC*.

The form also includes a small section for attendee interest, but our immediate
priority is identifying sessions with a potential host, organizer, or named
point of contact.
Submitting a proposal does not guarantee a confirmed room or time slot. OARC
staff will review responses and follow up to confirm session details, timing,
room fit, and any support needed.
We hope this additional day can create space for practical work, smaller-group
discussions, and hands-on knowledge sharing that can be difficult to fit into
the regular workshop agenda.
Best,
DNS-OARC
