<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">ICANN is today releasing <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/security/dns-ssr-symposium-report-1-3feb10-en.pdf">Measuring
the Health of the Domain Name System</a> [PDF, 6.07 MB]. This paper presents
the findings from the 2nd Global Annual Symposium on DNS Security, Stability
and Resiliency, conducted 1-3 February 2010 at Kyoto University in Kyoto,
Japan. Program committee members chose to focus this year's conference on the
theme of measuring the health of the DNS. As the entire Internet relies daily
on the DNS, understanding its health – both at a given instant and as it
changes over time – is critical for being able to reasonably predict the DNS's
health outlook and to decide whether to take corrective measures. The Symposium
endeavored to analyze the state of understanding DNS health, the key vital
signs for the DNS and how the community might approach improving measurement
and assessment of DNS health.</span></p>

collaborative effort and is intended to be a summation of thoughts, opinions,
and ideas expressed at the Symposium; it does not represent any particular
individual's or organization's opinion. The Symposium steering committee has validated
this report as an accurate representation of the discussions and
recommendations for further study from the Symposium.</span></p>
