The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) invites you to 
participate in the "Knowledge-sharing and Instantiation Norms for DNS and 
Naming Security" (KINDNS) initiative. This initiative promotes Domain Name 
System (DNS) operational security best practices and encourages DNS operators 
to voluntarily commit to their implementation.

 

KINDNS is one of many DNS security projects the ICANN organization has 
established to further protect the DNS. Its goals align directly with ICANN's 
Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021–2025 established by the ICANN community 
through its participation in ICANN's multistakeholder model.

 

The KINDNS initiative started its work in Fiscal Year 21 to engage with the DNS 
technical community, DNS service providers, software vendors, registrants, and 
others, to catalog, document, and develop a program to promote DNS operational 
best practices within various communities and ecosystems. As a result, KINDNS 
developed a framework for the most critical security norms for DNS operations, 
such as for authoritative, recursive resolvers and software.

 

Through the KINDNS project, ICANN plans to promote and encourage operators to 
commit to following these DNS security best practices and becoming "goodwill 
ambassadors'' of them.

 

As people and organizations navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, the reliance on 
the Internet as a tool for both work and daily life became increasingly 
apparent. This has helped raise awareness about the importance of a secure and 
stable DNS. The application of robust best practices across the operational 
community will help to improve the security, stability, and resilience of core 
Internet infrastructure.

 

KINDNS is another example of ICANN working with its community to solve complex 
global technical issues together to make the Internet more secure and resilient 
for Internet users everywhere.

 

Please join the KINDNS mailing list to contribute to the ongoing discussions 
about these best practices. To learn more about the KINDNS project and to 
participate, please visit the dedicated website. If you have any questions, 
please contact the KINDNS team here.
