'''OARC''' stands for '''Operations Analysis and Research Center'''. It is also known as the '''DNS-OARC''' and plays a significant role in bringing together important [[DNS]] implementers, operators and researchers on a single platform to ensure that there is a proper coordination of responses to various concerns and attacks. It also adds a major fillip in the sharing of information and learning together among the various operators and implementers.<ref>[https://www.dns-oarc.net/ DNS-OARC]</ref>

* '''Analysis:''' The leading developers and researchers in OARC provide a consistent and long-term analysis of DNS performance as well as conduct and autopsy of the attacks for the sake of institutional learning. It also provides with a well-provisioned system for its members so that they can upload the logs and traces so that they can conduct the analysis on their own.<ref name="link1">[https://www.dns-oarc.net/ dns-oarc]</ref>

It also provides a well-provisioned system for its members to download logs and traces so that they can conduct independent analyses.<ref>[https://www.dns-oarc.net/ DNS-OARC]</ref>

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([[ICANN]]) is a gold member of the OARC.<ref>[https://www.dns-oarc.net/ DNS-OARC]</ref> DNS-OARC has previously commented on ICANN’s [[DNS-CERT]]. OARC recommended a constituency for the CERT. It was also of the view that the CERT will have to gain support from the outside constituencies as well as from the other CERTs to ensure reduction of threats and to share incidents.<ref>[https://www.dns-oarc.net/oarc/dns-cert DNS-CERT]</ref>
