OARC is beginning planning for the 2021 Day in the Life (DITL) collection.  
Community DNS operators who wish to participate in the collection, and have not 
already done so, should join the [email protected] mailing list[0] in the 
next few days.  Announcements will be made on Friday, on the DITL mailing list, 
regarding the specifics of this year's collection.  This is the only notice 
about the collection that will be sent to this list.

A reminder that the DITL mailing list has a strict “no spectators” policy.  
Only contributors to the collection will be permitted to subscribe.



About the Day in the Life Collection
------------------------------------

Every year, DNS OARC runs a data collection event known as the Day in the Life 
collection.  DNS operators from around the globe run packet captures over the 
same 48 hour period, and contribute them to the community for ongoing research 
into the activity of the global DNS.  DITL data gathered will be made available 
to OARC Members and to
researchers under the terms of the OARC Data Sharing Agreement[1].  Research 
using the data sets has strict requirements regarding aggregation and 
anonymization, and is always made public.

OARC seeks to receive contributions from root server operators, TLD operators, 
operators of other significant authoritative zones, and recursive operators.

Although there are no hard and fast limits, we hope to see recursive 
contributions from recursive services with clients in the high hundreds to low 
tens of thousands of clients.  Recursive operators such as universities, small 
to medium sized ISPs, and large enterprises are ideal. Recursive server 
collections are always made “above” the server, between the recursive and 
authoritative, and not between the recursive and the end-user.
