[dns-wg] RIPE 72 DNS WG Agenda

Colleagues, 

Here’s the agenda for the RIPE 72 meeting of the DNS working group in Copenhagen.

We expect to send an update regarding the participants in the panel discussion closer to the meeting, but otherwise the following should be just about definitive.

Dave
On behalf of the chairs


=== Session one, Thursday 26 May, 14:00-15:30 ===

A. [05] Administrivia 

-  Agenda bashing
-  Review of action items
-  Approval of previous minutes


B. [30] RIPE NCC Report, Anand Buddhdev


C. [25] Root Zone ZSK Size Increase, Duane Wessels

Verisign, in its role as Root Zone Maintainer, plans to increase the 
size of the root zone Zone Signing Key (ZSK) in 2016. The ZSK has 
been a 1024-bit RSASHA256 key since the initial deployment of DNSSEC 
to the root zone in 2010. In the latter half of 2016, the ZSK size 
will be increased to 2048-bits.
In this presentation we will outline the schedule for the change, 
describe various technical and non-technical details for 
implementing the change, describe how the change will affect root 
zone response sizes, and our plans for emergency fallback to a 
1024-bit in the unlikely event it should be necessary.


D. [25] QNAME Minimization in Unbound, Ralph Dolmans

This talk is about the QNAME minimisation implementation in Unbound. 
QNAME minimisation is a technique to improve DNS privacy by limiting 
the amount of privacy sensitive data exposed to authoritative 
nameservers. Although resolving using QNAME minimisation is not 
strictly forbidden in the original DNS RFCs, not all nameservers 
handle these queries the way they should. Unbound is shipped with an 
implementation that will resolve queries "as usual" when broken 
nameservers are detected. Also covered in this talk is the effect of 
QNAME minimisation on the number of queries, and some side benefits 
of QNAME minimisation.


E. [05] Followup from Plenary topics

-  What’s so hard about DNSSEC?, Paul Ebersman


=== Session two, Thursday 26 May, 16:00-17:30 ===

F. [25] BIND 9.11 Release Update, Vicky Risk

BIND 9.11, the first new major version in over 2 years, will be in 
alpha testing during RIPE, and is scheduled for release this summer. 
This version will include a new database api, contributed by RedHat, 
a new provisioning mechanism called Catalog zones, improvements to 
RNDC, an IPv6 bias, and the DNSSEC negative trust anchor, among 
other things. We will also give an update on BIND performance 
testing at ISC, and would like to discuss a possible change in the 
open source licensing for BIND.


G. [05] DNS Privacy Public Resolver Proposal, Allison Mankin/Sara Dickinson

Proposal that RIPE operate the first DNS over TLS privacy-enhanced 
public recursive to provide service to the community and to research 
additional privacy enhancing mechanisms.


H. [55] Panel on DNSSEC Algorithm Flexibility, Ondřej Surý et al

A panel with representatives of DNS Operators and DNS Hosters, discussing
the challenges of introducing new and deprecating old DNS features and
DNS(SEC) algorithms. The panel will discuss the deployment of new DNS
standards at the customer DNS servers.
The proposed moderator is Ondřej Surý, the members of the panel are yet
to be determined and will be announced in a separate update closer to the
meeting.
