Dear Colleagues:

Following previous successful Internet Society panels, including on "Securing the DNS" held in Stockholm during IETF 75, we are organizing a briefing panel on Tuesday, 27 July, 11:45am - 12:45pm CET in conjunction with IETF 78:

Subject: DNS: Secure at 27, what's next?
Place:   Euro Room, Euro Centre, MECC, Maastricht, Netherlands
Time:    Tuesday, 27 July 2010, during the IETF lunch break

DNS was developed and documented in 1983, replacing the manually edited HOSTS.TXT file.  Since then, it has become one of the most widely deployed pieces of communal Internet infrastructure.

While its root and the top level domains of the DNS tree garner most international attention, individual domains are maintained by their registrants. This opens doors to possible issues in stability and security, while giving DNS the position as the top deployed scalable lookup service. The IETF continues to maintain the standard for its specification, as well as related specifications.

Space for this panel is limited. To account for the broad range of home timezones of IETF participants, half of the available spaces available will be open for registration at 0000 UTC on 20 July 2010 with the remaining spaces made available at 1200 UTC on 20 July 2010.

Additional information and a link to registration (open at the times listed above) will be available at:
