DNSSEC Implementers Gathering – 14 March
On the evening of Wednesday, March 14, after the DNSSEC Workshop is all over, we’ll have our informal “DNSSEC Implementers Gathering” bringing together people who have implemented DNSSEC or DANE in some way for a time to share information, have conversation and light snacks. Invitations have gone out to various DNSSEC mailing lists – if you are interested in attending please send a message to me at [email protected]. We thank Afilias for their generous sponsorship of this gathering at ICANN 61!
As I am not able to travel to ICANN 61, I want to thank Jacques Latour for stepping in to help with some of the emceeing and other meeting facilitation duties that I often do.
Please do join us for a great set of sessions about how we can work together to make the DNS more secure and trusted!
