DNSSEC And DANE Activities At ICANN53 In Buenos Aires On 22-24 June

Next week we’ll be in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the 53rd meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and as per usual there will be a great amount of DNS security activity happening.  Some great introductions to DNSSEC and DANE – and some outstanding technical talks (and demos!) on Wednesday. Here are the three main activities – remote participation is available for two of them.  Do note that all times are Argentina Time (ART) which is UTC-3.

DNSSEC For Everybody: A Beginner’s Guide

On Monday, 22 June 2015, we’ll have the regular “DNSSEC For Everybody: A Beginner’s Guide” session from 17:00-18:30 ART where we’ll do our “skit” dramatizing DNS and DNSSEC.  If you have been seeking to understand WHY this all matters, do join in to see!  You can watch it remotely (or watch the archive later) at:

And yes, I’ll be talking about blue smoke as I usually do… and I’ll be in the skit because, why not? 🙂

DNSSEC Implementers Gathering

After the DNSSEC For Everybody session on Monday, many of us who have been involved with deploying DNSSEC or DANE will travel to a nearby Irish pub (yes, in Argentina!) for the “DNSSEC Implementers Gathering” for food, drink and conversation from 19:30-21:30 ART.  Many thanks to CIRA, NIC.AR and SIDN for sponsoring this event.  If you will be at ICANN 53 and would like to join, please RSVP to Julie Hedlund by the end of the day on Thursday, 18 June.

The whole ICANN 53 should be a great event and I’m very much looking forward to it!  Beyond our work with DNSSEC, DANE and DNS security, there will also be a great amount of public policy work happening as well.

If you will be there at ICANN 53 please do say hello – you can find me in these sessions… or drop me a note at [email protected] and we can arrange a time to connect.
