1.  Introduction

   This document describes an extension of the Registration Data Access
   Protocol (RDAP) that includes DNS DELEG values in responses to RDAP
   domain object queries as described in section 5.3 of RFC 9083
   [RFC9083].  The definition of DNS DELEG information is based on
   concepts described in Internet-Draft "Extensible Delegation for DNS"
   [DELEG] and Internet-Draft "Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
   mapping for DELEG records" [brown-epp-deleg].  This draft is subject
   to changes that may take place in [DELEG] and [brown-epp-deleg] as
   they are developed.  This document describes how DNS DELEG record
   information can be included in RDAP responses that contain RDAP
   domain objects.

2.  Conventions used in this document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  RDAP Conformance

   RDAP responses that contain values described in this document MUST
   indicate conformance with this specification by including an
   rdapConformance ([RFC9083]) value of "deleg".  The information needed
   to register this value in the RDAP Extensions Registry is described
   in Section 5.

   Example rdapConformance structure with extension specified:

Internet-Draft            RDAP DELEG Extension                April 2024

      "rdapConformance" :
        [
          "rdap_level_0",
          "deleg"
        ]

4.  RDAP Response Specification

   This specification describes a new data structure that is used to
   return DNS DELEG information in a RDAP domain response. s described
   in Internet-Draft "Extensible Delegation for DNS" [DELEG], a DELEG
   record is a specialized form of a DNS SVCB [RFC9460] resource record.
   "deleg_delegInfo" is a data structure that contains information that
   describes DNS DELEG record information associated with a registered
   domain name.  The "deleg_delegInfo" data structure is a list of
   objects.  The list of objects contains the following members whose
   values and presentations are described in Section 2.1, and Appendix A
   of RFC 9460 [RFC9460]:

   1.  "priority": a number that represents the SvcPriority value of the
       record.

   2.  "target": a domain name that represents the TargetName of the
       record.

   3.  "params": an OPTIONAL object that contains SvcParam key-value
       pairs.

4.1.  Examples of deleg_delegInfo

   Example 1: single DELEG AliasMode record type from a single provider
   based on the example shown in section 2.2 of [DELEG]:

           "deleg_delegInfo": [
             {
               "priority": 0,
               "target": "config1.example.net"
             }
           ]

   Example 2: multiple DELEG AliasMode records type from multiple
   providers based on the example shown in section 2.2.1 of [DELEG]:

Internet-Draft            RDAP DELEG Extension                April 2024

           "deleg_delegInfo": [
             {
               "priority": 0,
               "target": "config1.example.net"
             {
               "priority": 0,
               "target": "config1.example.org"
           ]

   Example 3: single DELEG ServiceMode record type from a single
   provider based on the example shown in section 2.1 of [DELEG]:

          "deleg_delegInfo": [
             {
               "priority": 1,
               "target": "config3.example.net",
               "params": {
                 "ipv6hint": "2001:db8:2423::3"
               }
             }
          ]

   Example 4: multiple DELEG ServiceMode records type from multiple
   providers based on the example shown in section 5.1.1 of [brown-epp-
   deleg]:

          "deleg_delegInfo": [
             {
               "priority": 1,
               "target": "ns1.example.com",
               "params": {
                 "ipv4hint": "192.0.2.1",
                 "ipv6hint": "2001:DB8::1"
               }
             },
             {
               "priority": 1,
               "target": "ns2.example.net",
               "params": {
                 "ipv4hint": "192.0.2.2",
                 "ipv6hint": "2001:DB8::2"
               }
             }
          ]
