We are planning to offer a full day of community-driven sessions on
Wednesday, 11 November, immediately following the main OARC 47 workshop.
We'd like to hear from the broader DNS and Internet operations
community. What topics or activities would you like to see happen, and
what could be realistically organized—or that you would be interested in
helping organize?
Recent workshop feedback included interest in tutorials and short
training sessions, working group and interest group side meetings, BOFs,
hackathons, tool demos, and operator round-tables.
To make this useful, we need more than topic suggestions: we are
especially looking for people who are willing to host a session, help
organize one, or point us toward someone who has already expressed
interest in leading a specific project, topic, or discussion.
This additional day will not require a separate registration fee for
OARC 47 attendees.
We have conference rooms available from 08:30–16:30 on the 11 November.
Each room can accommodate up to 15 participants and includes basic
boardroom AV.
The day is currently planned around the following schedule:
08:30–10:00 session block
10:00–10:30 morning coffee break
10:30–12:00 session block
12:00–13:00 lunch
13:00–14:30 session block
14:30–15:00 afternoon coffee break
15:00–16:30 session block
Sessions may use one or more blocks depending on the format, organizer
availability, and room scheduling.
Possible formats include:
hands-on tutorials
OARC tools training or demos
software demos
BOFs
hackathons
focused working group or interest group meetings (for instance standards
or BCP discussions)
operator round-tables
“help me brainstorm this problem” sessions
If you are willing to host something, help organize something, or
connect us with someone who may be a good lead for a specific session,
please complete the following form by [DATE]: 24 August 2026 23:59 UTC
Form Link <https://zfrmz.com/arOnEOkvgGa9UoqvwOGn>
The form also includes a small section for attendee interest, but our
immediate priority is identifying sessions with a potential host,
organizer, or named point of contact.
Submitting a proposal does not guarantee a confirmed room or time slot.
OARC staff will review responses and follow up to confirm session
details, timing, room fit, and any support needed.
We hope this additional day can create space for practical work,
smaller-group discussions, and hands-on knowledge sharing that can be
difficult to fit into the regular workshop agenda.
Best,
DNS-OARC
