DNS OARC's many faces

This time on PING we have Phil Regnauld (https://www.linkedin.com/in/philregnauld/) from DNS Operations Analysis & Resource Center (DNS-OARC) (https://www.dns-oarc.net/) talking about the three distinct faces OARC presents to the community.Phil came to the OARC presidents role, replacing Keith Mitchell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithmitchell/) who was the founding president since 2008 through to this year. Phil previously has worked with the Network Startup Resource Centre (NSRC) (https://nsrc.org/)and with AFNOG (https://www.afnog.org/), and the Francophone Internet community at large.DNS OARC has at least 3 distinct faces. It is a community of DNS operators and researchers, who maintain an active ongoing dialogue face to face in workshops and online in the OARC Mattermost community hub. Secondly it is a home, repository and ongoing development environment for DNS related tools such as DNSVIZ (https://dnsviz.net/) (written by Casey Deccio) hosting the AS112 (https://www.as112.net/) project, and development of the DSC systems amongst many other tools.Thirdly it is the organiser and host of the Day In The Life or DITL (https://www.dns-oarc.net/index.php/oarc/data/ditl) activity, the periodic collection of 48-72 hours of DNS traffic from the DNS root operators, and other significant sources of DNS traffic. Stretching back over 10 years DITL is a huge resource for DNS research, providing insights in the use of DNS and its behaviour on-the-wire.Read more about DNS OARC and its activities:* The Domain Name Service Operations, Analysis and Research Center (https://www.dns-oarc.net/index.php/)* The DSC (https://www.dns-oarc.net/index.php/oarc/data/dsc) data collection and analysis system* DNS OARC software tools catalog (https://www.dns-oarc.net/index.php/oarc/tools)* The Day In The Life (DITL) (https://www.dns-oarc.net/index.php/oarc/data/ditl) collection
