Session teaser

The Domain Name System is a vital component of the internet infrastructure and required for both security and basic functionality. Recently, a variety of conflict points have emerged that include but are not limited to (geo)political shifts and disagreements, a lack of clarity over abuse fighting, and issues of architectural and technical nature. For example, while DNS Security Extensions have not been deployed across the board, the key rollover has been delayed. More generally, When such an essential infrastructure is evolving, it is an important question who is making the critical decisions, and also who will be left behind. Taking on board this host of challenges to the nature of the DNS, this session discusses if the system can continue to exist in its current form, and reviews scenarios of how it may develop in the future.

Keywords

DNS, Domain Name System, DNS Abuse, Domains, ICANN, DNS Security, DNS Privacy.

Session description

The session will focus on discussing what works and does not work when it comes to the DNS at this point in time. There will be a focus on what should change technologically or in terms of policy to keep the DNS functioning in the future. For example:

  • What technological and policy changes will we see in the near future?
  • Who will shape those changed, and how will they impact on users?
  • Could the DNS become an avenue to increase internet security?
  • How will abuse-fighters identify criminal actors going forward?
  • Will the DNS become more politicised, potentially even fracture?

Format

The DNS is a key element of the internet infrastructurs and affects us all. Therefore, the session and the discussion will be interactive and inclusive. In addition to the roundtable participants who represent different stakeholder groups, the audience is meant to shape the discussion and provide thought-provoking input.

Session structure:

  • The Moderator opens the session and provides the context for discussion (with audience contribution)
  • Round table participants provide short opening statements
  • Audience challenges round table participants
  • Following initial discussions, moderator moves to interactive Q&A
  • Towards the end, the round table participants provide final statements and the moderator wraps up the session

For participants who cannot attend the session in person, remote participation is available and greatly encouraged. All voices will heard.
