DNS-OARC operates as a collaborative platform that brings together DNS operators, implementers, and researchers to coordinate responses to attacks, share information, and advance learning across the community. It focuses on information sharing, evaluating the performance and load of key DNS infrastructure, organizing workshops, conducting long-term analysis, and delivering publicly accessible tools and services to diagnose and resolve DNS problems. Its participants include operators of root, TLD, or large commercial nameservers; equipment and software implementers; researchers needing access to trace and log data; and security providers leveraging DNS information. Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, the organization operates with a small to mid-sized team.
