Dear Colleagues,
Like you, the DNSOP chairs have been adjusting to recent world events and considering how to continue our work as conditions change. We won’t be together in person in Vancouver this week for IETF 107, but we want to do what we can to provide the usual 3x/year opportunity for the WG to advance WG drafts, consider new work, and discuss the evolution of the DNS. In order to do that, we will be holding at least some of the WG activities we planned for Vancouver in March and April. This note covers: Plans for upcoming virtual meetings Possible DNSOP chairs office hours Managing agenda requests (note that the internet-drafts uploads site has already re-opened) Important links It’s long but has a fair amount of information about our plans, and a couple of items we will be asking for input on before we commit to next steps, so please review carefully. In particular, we’re re-opening our call for agenda items (see below) so we can accommodate potential work items that weren’t proposed for Vancouver because people had canceled travel plans. OVERVIEW Some sessions originally intended for IETF 107 will be held virtually, in their original time slots, next week. The schedule for those sessions is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda/>. The IESG is giving priority in next week’s schedule to new WGs and BOFs, so established WGs such as DNSOP have been asked to review the recommended virtual interim schedule at: https://trac.ietf.org/trac/wgchairs/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/April2020-RecommendedSchedule.pdf <https://trac.ietf.org/trac/wgchairs/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/April2020-RecommendedSchedule.pdf>and schedule interim WG meetings accordingly. We have two suggested slots in the April proposed schedule, in accordance with our usual practice of two slots during a regular in-person IETF. Also as usual, we expect to use either or both, depending on how much work we have that would benefit from real-time interaction. AGENDA Note that the datatracker upload function for new internet-drafts was already re-opened shortly after the announcement that IETF 107 will be moving entirely on-line. We will ask that draft authors freeze drafts a week before any interim meeting, in order to allow people time to read and consider them before the virtual meeting. In setting the agenda for the virtual, we will assume initial requests are still valid unless advised otherwise. We will also move calls for adoption which we might have considered in Vancouver to the mailing list, in advance of the interim. We’re hereby opening a new call for agenda items so we can accommodate any items that people want to discuss but didn’t propose for Vancouver because they had already canceled travel plans. ADMINISTRATIVE OBSERVATIONS We will be preparing the usual Chairs’ Slides update of work that has advanced since IETF 106. We’ve had several drafts advanced to the IESG and to the RFC Editor. We have a few current items, and will consider new ones, but we don't know how busy/engaged people are prepared to be, so will take our cues from you. We are also planning to replace some of the “hallway track” we get with physical IETF meetings with “virtual office hours” for the chairs and anyone who wants to drop by on webex. We’ll be sending out a Doodle poll to help us set up a couple of slots in the next few weeks; at the very least we want to make sure there are reasonable time slots for both Americas/European timezones and Asia-Pacific ones. These will be open to anyone who wants to chat with the chairs-- much like the IETF lounge or any hotel bar-- but we’d particularly like to hear from current or prospective draft authors.

Wishing the best to all of you and your loved ones, Benno, Suzanne, and Tim
