[dns-wg] DNS4EU?

Hi Hank, all,

A number of us from the RIPE NCC (and others from the RIPE community) were in yesterday’s HLIG meeting.

There was a presentation on DNS4EU, and I’m trying to track down those slides and whether they’ll be made public - at this point, there’s nothing on the site, but we’ll certainly share any slides (or a public report on the meeting) when they become available.

The significant output was that the Commission expects to have a public Call for Proposals around the end of this year, as part of Connecting Europe Facility (CEF 2) programme, for an EU-governed public DNS resolver service. Obviously the CfP will contain more detail when it is made public.

This is also in line with the Commission’s statement back in June 2021 in section 1.6 of this document:
https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-10137-2021-ADD-1/en/pdf

In the meantime, others may be able to share insights, and we will share links to public documents from yesterday’s session as we obtain them.

Cheers
Chris

But I will note that the European Commission has scheduled one of the regular meetings of its High Level Group on Internet Governance (HLIG) for this Wednesday; portions of those meeting agendas are generally open to industry stakeholders, and Wednesday’s agenda includes an update on DNS4EU.
