Abstract
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is used by Regional
Internet Registries (RIRs) and Domain Name Registries (DNRs) to
provide access to their resource registration information. When an
RDAP service operator has delegated authority for a resource to a
third party, the operator will configure its RDAP service to redirect
requests for that resource to the third party. However, the client
may be interested in the resource registration data that the first
service operator has in its own right, for various reasons. This
document defines a conformance code that a service operator can use
to indicate that when redirecting requests, it will also include as
the body of the response the RDAP object (if any) that it has in its
own right for the requested resource.

1. Introduction
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) [RFC7480] is used by
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and Domain Name Registries (DNRs)
to provide access to their resource registration information. For a
client, this typically involves following the bootstrap process
[RFC7484] to determine the base URL for the query. When the service
operator for the base URL has delegated authority for a resource to a
third party, the operator will configure its RDAP service to redirect
requests accordingly.
The client may also be interested in the registration data that the
original service operator has, though. For example:
the original service operator's responses may be in conformance
with an externally-defined RDAP profile, such that the client
finds them easier or more useful to deal with than the responses
provided by the delegated service operator;
the original service operator's responses may provide useful
information about larger delegations of resources to delegated
service operators;
where both service operators record information about the same
delegation (e.g. the same specific IP network), the delegated
operator may omit some information recorded by the original
operator which is useful to the client; or
