+  <h3>2019-10-04: GNS Technical Specification Milestone 1/4</h3>
+  <p>
+    We are happy to announce the completion of the first milestone for the
+    GNS Specification. The objective is to provide a detailed and comprehensive
+    guide for implementors of the GNU Name System.
+    The initial milestone consists of documenting the cryptographic principles
+    of GNS data structures. This includes the specification of the GNS record
+    wire and serialization formats as well as internationalization.<br/>
+    <i>NOTE: The currently specified protocol is planned to be implemented for
+    GNUnet 0.12. The current GNS implementation (0.11) exhibits minor but
+    compatibility breaking deviations from this specification.</i>
+
+    The draft specification <b>LSD001</b> can be found at:
+    <ul>
+      <li>Git: <a href="git://gnunet.org/lsd0001.git">LSD001</a></li>
+      <li><a href="https://git.gnunet.org/lsd0001.git/tree/draft-schanzen-gns.txt">Link to TXT version</a></li>
+      <li><a href="https://git.gnunet.org/lsd0001.git/tree/draft-schanzen-gns.html">Link to HTML version</a></li>
+    </ul>
+
+    The next milestone will bring the resolver logic specification.
