Sorry for the slow response, was traveling to LA for Domainfest. Thanks Jim for getting this off the ground. A few thoughts: - Vint is only marked for a brief opening remarks, his main thing will be the keynote for APRICOT at the opening in the afternoon... so probably won't work for him as a moderator. - Hijacking demo is good - How about Suzanne from ISC?

I'm sorry for the length of this message but we're a bit tardy in getting this started so I wanted to include a complete proposal for discussion.
There are actually 3 related meetings to consider. We have the summit on Monday morning, a press event on Monday afternoon, and a workshop on Wednesday afternoon. We also need to keep in mind that we'd like to replicate this format around Asia, i.e., ideally this event is a kick-off of events to come.
Edmon proposed the following high-level description of two of the events.
1. DNSSEC.Asia Summit -- high-level conference style discussion. Vint Cerf has already agreed to be present. 9:30am-12pm.
2. DNSSEC.Asia Workshop -- designed for ISP and hosting provider engineers. 2-5pm, classroom setting, 25 or 50 people.
Somewhere during these events we should include a real-time demonstration of how DNSSEC can prevent a hijack of access to a web site. Edmon had proposed the press event. I think we should plan to do this at both the press event and the workshop.
With that as background, let me quickly offer a few suggestions for the workshop and the press event and then focus on the summit.
I suggest the workshop have a "how to" theme. I think there are 3-5 bullets of essential functionality that several different kinds of players must deploy for the full benefit of DNSSEC to be realized by everyone. So, in addition to ISPs and hosting providers, I think we should include registrars and a few significant organizations that we want to be the first to sign their domains. (How about the Friends and Family participants?) Someone should also speak on behalf of the .ASIA registry. We start this meeting with a real-time demo of a hijack primarily for the effect. There are several folks who could probably be engaged to make this meeting happen, individually or collectively: Russ Mundy, Simon McCalla, and Markus Travaille.
My only comment about the press event is to include the real-time demo of the hijack. I think this will help to crystallize in their minds the importance of DNSSEC. We need to make sure the demo is not technically focused. We have to ensure it is focuses on the user experience from the user perspective. I would expect that Edmon will take responsibility for organizing the press event.
Moving on to the summit, I like Edmon's suggestion for a conference style discussion and I would propose the following format.
We setup a number of panelists and use the following format:
60-90 minutes of presentation/position statements 30 minute break 60-90 minutes of questions and answers
Since we have Vint I would suggest that we ask if he would be willing to moderate the discussion. He can start with a "keynote" and then progress through each of the panelists. During the break we can have people submit questions on paper, which Vint can then use to keep the rest of the discussion going. We can continue to take questions during the discussion, on paper.
With that as a format we need a theme in order to choose panelists. I suggest that the intended audience be decision makers, from managers up through executives. The technical folks are welcome but they should be directed to the workshop on Wednesday.
I suggest two related themes: some lessons learned in the form of why I did it and what it took to get it done, and a look at the future of the value I expect to get from it.
For panelists I suggest we reach out to the friends and family participants in .ASIA, plus any other significant organization we can find that is planning to do something soon, if not already. Of course, .ASIA, Afilias, and .ORG/PIR could be invited to speak also.
That should be enough to get us started. Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Jim
