Welcome to the Knowledge-sharing and Instantiating Norms for DNS and Naming Security (KINDNS) workspace.

KINDNS is a program to develop a framework that focuses on the most important operational best practices or concrete instances of DNS security best practices. Working with the DNS technical community, we will work to identify and document (in form of guidelines) a set of mutually agreed norms that support a secure DNS ecosystem that community can easily complement. Then we will actively promote their adoption by the operator community.

Background: 

In furtherance of the ICANN mission to increase the security, stability, and resiliency of the Internet's system of unique identifiers, ICANN works to foster a more robust DNS ecosystem. To support this goal, we are developing a formal framework through which we can actively promote existing best practices and encourage operators to adopt them.
