1. Introduction

  This document describes an Internet domain name mapping for version
  1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).  This mapping is
  specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described
  in [XML] and XML Schema notation as described in [XMLS-1] and [XMLS-
  2].

  [EPP] provides a complete description of EPP command and response
  structures.  A thorough understanding of the base protocol
  specification is necessary to understand the mapping described in this
  document.

  XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
  and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
  character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

1.1 Relationship of Domain Objects and Host Objects

  The EPP mapping for host objects is described in [EPP-H].  This
  document assumes that domain name objects have a superordinate
  relationship to subordinate host name objects.  For example, domain
  name "example.com" has a superordinate relationship to host name
  "ns1.example.com".  EPP actions (such as object transfers) that do not
  preserve this relationship MUST be explicitly disallowed.

  A host name object can be created in a repository for which no
  superordinate domain name object exists.  For example, host name
  "ns1.example.com" can be created in the ".example" repository so that
  DNS domains in ".example" can be delegated to the host.  Such hosts
  are described as "external" hosts in this specification since the name
  of the host does not belong to the name space of the repository in
  which the host is being used for delegation purposes.

  Whether a host is external or internal relates to the repository in
  which the host is being used for delegation purposes.  Whether an
  internal host is subordinate or not relates to a domain within the
  repository.  For example, host ns1.example1.com is a subordinate host
  of domain example1.com, but it is a not a subordinate host of domain
  example2.com.  ns1.example1.com can be used as a name server for
  example2.com.  In this case ns1.example1.com MUST be treated as an
  internal host, subject to the rules governing operations on
  subordinate hosts within the same repository.

  Name server hosts for domain delegation can be specified as either
  references to existing host objects or as domain attributes that
  describe a host machine.  A server operator MUST use one name server
  specification form consistently.  A server operator that announces

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  support for host objects in an EPP greeting MUST NOT allow domain
  attributes to describe a name server host machine.  A server operator
  that does not announce support for host objects MUST allow domain
  attributes to describe a name server host machine.  When domain
  attributes are used to describe a name server host machine, IP
  addresses SHOULD be required only as needed to generate DNS glue
  records.

  Name servers are specified within a <domain:ns> element.  This element
  MUST contain one or more <domain:hostObj> elements or one or more
  <domain:hostAttr> elements.  A <domain:hostObj> element contains the
  fully qualified name of a known name server host object.  A
  <domain:hostAttr> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:hostName> element that contains the fully qualified name
  of a host.

  - Zero or more OPTIONAL <domain:hostAddr> elements that contain the IP
  addresses to be associated with the host.  Each element MAY contain an
  "ip" attribute to identify the IP address format.  Attribute value
  "v4" is used to note IPv4 address format.  Attribute value "v6" is
  used to note IPv6 address format.  If the "ip" attribute is not
  specified, "v4" is the default attribute value.  IP address syntax
  requirements are described in Section 2.5 of the EPP host mapping
  [EPP-H].

  Example host object name server elements for domain example.com:

  <domain:ns>
    <domain:hostObj>ns1.example.com</domain:hostObj>
    <domain:hostObj>ns1.example.net</domain:hostObj>
  </domain:ns>

  Example host attribute name server elements for domain example.com:

  <domain:ns>
    <domain:hostAttr>
      <domain:hostName>ns1.example.com</domain:hostName>
      <domain:hostAddr
       ip="v4">192.0.2.2</domain:hostAddr>
      <domain:hostAddr
       ip="v6">1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A</domain:hostAddr>
    </domain:hostAttr>
    <domain:hostAttr>
      <domain:hostName>ns1.example.net</domain:hostName>
    </domain:hostAttr>
  </domain:ns>

2. Object Attributes

  An EPP domain object has attributes and associated values that can be
  viewed and modified by the sponsoring client or the server.  This
  section describes each attribute type in detail.  The formal syntax
  for the attribute values described here can be found in the "Formal
  Syntax" section of this document and in the appropriate normative
  references.

2.1 Domain and Host Names

  The syntax for domain and host names described in this document MUST
  conform to [RFC952] as updated by [RFC1123].  These conformance
  requirements might change as a result of progressing work in
  developing standards for internationalized domain names.  A server MAY
  restrict allowable domain names to a particular top level domain,
  second level domain, or other domain for which the server is
  authoritative.  The trailing dot required when these names are stored
  in a DNS zone is implicit and MUST NOT be provided when exchanging
  host and domain names.

2.2 Contact and Client Identifiers

  All EPP contacts are identified by a server-unique identifier.
  Contact identifiers are character strings with a specified minimum
  length, a specified maximum length, and a specified format.  Contact
  identifiers use the "clIDType" client identifier syntax described in
  [EPP].

2.3 Status Values

  A domain object MUST always have at least one associated status value.
  Status values can be set only by the client that sponsors a domain
  object and by the server on which the object resides.  A client can
  change the status of a domain object using the EPP <update> command.
  Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string of human-readable
  text that describes the rationale for the status applied to the
  object.

  A client MUST NOT alter status values set by the server.  A server MAY
  alter or override status values set by a client subject to local
  server policies.  The status of an object MAY change as a result of
  either a client-initiated transform command or an action performed by
  a server operator.

  Status values that can be added or removed by a client are prefixed
  with "client".  Corresponding status values that can be added or
  removed by a server are prefixed with "server".  Status values that do

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  not begin with either "client" or "server" are server-managed.

  Status Value Descriptions:

  - clientDeleteProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited

  Requests to delete the object MUST be rejected.

  - clientHold, serverHold

  DNS delegation information MUST NOT be published for the object.

  - clientRenewProhibited, serverRenewProhibited

  Requests to renew the object MUST be rejected.

  - clientTransferProhibited, serverTransferProhibited

  Requests to transfer the object MUST be rejected.

  - clientUpdateProhibited, serverUpdateProhibited

  Requests to update the object (other than to remove this status) MUST
  be rejected.

  - inactive

  Delegation information has not been associated with the object.

  - ok

  This is the normal status value for an object that has no pending
  operations or prohibitions.  This value is set and removed by the
  server as other status values are added or removed.

  - pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer,
  pendingUpdate

  A transform command has been processed for the object, but the action
  has not been completed by the server.  Server operators can delay
  action completion for a variety of reasons, such as to allow for human
  review or third-party action.  A transform command that is processed,
  but whose requested action is pending, is noted with response code
  1001.

  With one exception, transform commands MUST be rejected when a
  pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, or
  pendingUpdate status is set.  The only exception is that a <transfer>

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  command to approve, reject, or cancel a transfer MAY be processed
  while an object is in "pendingTransfer" status.

  When the requested action has been completed, the pendingCreate,
  pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, or pendingUpdate status
  value MUST be removed.  All clients involved in the transaction MUST
  be notified using a service message that the action has been completed
  and that the status of the object has changed.

  "ok" status MUST NOT be combined with any other status.

  "pendingDelete" status MUST NOT be combined with either
  "clientDeleteProhibited" or "serverDeleteProhibited" status.

  "pendingRenew" status MUST NOT be combined with either
  "clientRenewProhibited" or "serverRenewProhibited" status.

  "pendingTransfer" status MUST NOT be combined with either
  "clientTransferProhibited" or "serverTransferProhibited" status.

  "pendingUpdate" status MUST NOT be combined with either
  "clientUpdateProhibited" or "serverUpdateProhibited" status.

  The pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingRenew, pendingTransfer, and
  pendingUpdate status values MUST NOT be combined with each other.

  Other status combinations not expressly prohibited MAY be used.

2.4 Dates and Times

  Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
  Coordinated Time (UTC) using the Gregorian calendar.  The extended
  date-time form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in
  [RFC3339] MUST be used to represent date-time values as XML Schema
  does not support truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z"
  characters.

2.5 Validity Periods

  A domain name object MAY have a specified validity period.  If server
  policy supports domain object validity periods, the validity period is
  defined when a domain object is created, and it MAY be extended by the
  EPP <renew> or <transfer> commands.  As a matter of server policy,
  this specification does not define actions to be taken upon expiration
  of a domain object's validity period.

  Validity periods are measured in years or months with the appropriate
  units specified using the "unit" attribute.  Valid values for the

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  "unit" attribute are "y" for years and "m" for months.  The minimum
  allowable period value is one decimal (1).  The maximum allowable
  value is ninety-nine decimal (99).  A server MAY support a lower
  maximum value.

2.6 Authorization Information

  Authorization information is associated with domain objects to
  facilitate transfer operations.  Authorization information is assigned
  when a domain object is created, and it might be updated in the
  future.  This specification describes password-based authorization
  information, though other mechanisms are possible.

2.7 Other DNS Resource Record Attributes

  While the DNS allows many resource record types to be associated with
  a domain, this mapping only explicitly specifies elements that
  describe resource records used for domain delegation and resolution.
  Facilities to provision other domain-related resource record types can
  be developed by extending this mapping.

  The provisioning method described in this mapping separates discrete
  data elements by data type.  This method of data definition allows XML
  Schema processors to perform basic syntax validation tasks, reducing
  ambiguity and the amount of parsing and syntax-checking work required
  of protocol processors.  Provisioning and extension methods that
  aggregate data into opaque strings are possible, but such methods
  SHOULD NOT be used because they impose additional parsing,
  interpretation, and validation requirements on protocol processors.

3. EPP Command Mapping

  A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in
  [EPP].  The command mappings described here are specifically for use
  in provisioning and managing Internet domain names via EPP.

3.1 EPP Query Commands

  EPP provides three commands to retrieve domain information: <check> to
  determine if a domain object can be provisioned within a repository,
  <info> to retrieve detailed information associated with a domain
  object, and <transfer> to retrieve domain object transfer status
  information.

3.1.1 EPP <check> Command

  The EPP <check> command is used to determine if an object can be
  provisioned within a repository.  It provides a hint that allows a
  client to anticipate the success or failure of provisioning an object
  using the <create> command as object provisioning requirements are
  ultimately a matter of server policy.

  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the <check> command
  MUST contain a <domain:check> element that identifies the domain
  namespace and the location of the domain schema.  The <domain:check>
  element contains the following child elements:

  - One or more <domain:name> elements that contain the fully qualified
  names of the domain objects to be queried.

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  Example <check> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  C:     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0
  C:     epp-1.0.xsd">
  C:  <command>
  C:    <check>
  C:      <domain:check
  C:       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
  C:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
  C:       domain-1.0.xsd">
  C:        <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
  C:        <domain:name>example.net</domain:name>
  C:        <domain:name>example.org</domain:name>
  C:      </domain:check>
  C:    </check>
  C:    <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
  C:  </command>
  C:</epp>

  When a <check> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:chkData> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:chkData> element contains one or more <domain:cd> elements
  that contain the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the queried domain object.  This element MUST contain an "avail"
  attribute whose value indicates object availability (can it be
  provisioned or not) at the moment the <check> command was completed.
  A value of "1" or "true" means that the object can be provisioned.  A
  value of "0" or "false" means that the object can not be provisioned.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:reason> element that MAY be provided when an
  object can not be provisioned.  If present, this element contains
  server-specific text to help explain why the object can not be
  provisioned.  This text MUST be represented in the response language
  previously negotiated with the client; an OPTIONAL "lang" attribute
  MAY be present to identify the language if the negotiated value is
  something other than the default value of "en" (English).

  S:    </result>
  S:    <resData>
  S:      <domain:chkData
  S:       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
  S:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
  S:       domain-1.0.xsd">
  S:        <domain:cd>
  S:          <domain:name avail="1">example.com</domain:name>
  S:        </domain:cd>
  S:        <domain:cd>
  S:          <domain:name avail="0">example.net</domain:name>
  S:          <domain:reason>In use</domain:reason>
  S:        </domain:cd>
  S:        <domain:cd>
  S:          <domain:name avail="1">example.org</domain:name>
  S:        </domain:cd>
  S:      </domain:chkData>
  S:    </resData>
  S:    <trID>
  S:      <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
  S:      <svTRID>54322-XYZ</svTRID>
  S:    </trID>
  S:  </response>
  S:</epp>

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <check> command can not be
  processed for any reason.

3.1.2 EPP <info> Command

  The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve information associated with
  a domain object.  The response to this command MAY vary depending on
  the identity of the querying client, use of authorization information,
  and server policy towards unauthorized clients.  If the querying
  client is the sponsoring client, all available information MUST be
  returned.  If the querying client is not the sponsoring client, but
  the client provides valid authorization information, all available

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  information MUST be returned.  If the querying client is not the
  sponsoring client, and the client does not provide valid authorization
  information, server policy determines which OPTIONAL elements are
  returned.

  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the <info> command
  MUST contain a <domain:info> element that identifies the domain
  namespace and the location of the domain schema.  The <domain:info>
  element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object to be queried.  An OPTIONAL "hosts" attribute is
  available to control return of information describing hosts related to
  the domain object.  A value of "all" (the default, which MAY be
  absent) returns information describing both subordinate and delegated
  hosts.  A value of "del" returns information describing only delegated
  hosts.  A value of "sub" returns information describing only
  subordinate hosts.  A value of "none" returns no information
  describing delegated or subordinate hosts.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization
  information associated with the domain object or authorization
  information associated with the domain object's registrant or
  associated contacts.  An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to
  identify the registrant or contact object if and only if the given
  authInfo is associated with a registrant or contact object, and not
  the domain object itself.  If this element is not provided or if the
  authorization information is invalid, server policy determines if the
  command is rejected or if response information will be returned to the
  client.

3.1.3 EPP <transfer> Query Command

  The EPP <transfer> command provides a query operation that allows a
  client to determine real-time status of pending and completed transfer
  requests.  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
  <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute with value "query",
  and a <domain:transfer> element that identifies the domain namespace
  and the location of the domain schema.  The <domain:transfer> element
  contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object to be queried.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003               [Page 17]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  information associated with the domain object or authorization
  information associated with the domain object's registrant or
  associated contacts.  An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to
  identify the registrant or contact object if and only if the given
  authInfo is associated with a registrant or contact object, and not
  the domain object itself.  If this element is not provided or if the
  authorization information is invalid, server policy determines if the
  command is rejected or if response information will be returned to the
  client.

  Example <transfer> query command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
  C:     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  C:    <transfer op="query">
  C:      <domain:transfer
  C:       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
  C:       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
  C:       domain-1.0.xsd">
  C:        <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
  C:        <domain:authInfo>
  C:          <domain:pw roid="JD1234-REP">2fooBAR</domain:pw>
  C:        </domain:authInfo>
  C:      </domain:transfer>
  C:    </transfer>
  C:    <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
  C:  </command>
  C:</epp>

  When a <transfer> query command has been processed successfully, the
  EPP <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:trnData> element
  that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain
  schema. The <domain:trnData> element contains the following child
  elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object.

  - A <domain:trStatus> element that contains the state of the most
  recent transfer request.

  - A <domain:reID> element that contains the identifier of the client
  that requested the object transfer.

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003               [Page 18]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  - A <domain:reDate> element that contains the date and time that the
  transfer was requested.

  - A <domain:acID> element that contains the identifier of the client
  that SHOULD act upon the transfer request.

  - A <domain:acDate> element that contains the date and time of a
  required or completed response.  For a PENDING request, the value
  identifies the date and time by which a response is required before an
  automated response action will be taken by the server.  For all other
  status types, the value identifies the date and time when the request
  was completed.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:exDate> element that contains the end of the
  domain object's validity period if the <transfer> command caused or
  causes a change in the validity period.

  Example <transfer> query response:

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <transfer> query command
  can not be processed for any reason.

3.2 EPP Transform Commands

  EPP provides five commands to transform domain objects: <create> to
  create an instance of a domain object, <delete> to delete an instance
  of a domain object, <renew> to extend the validity period of a domain
  object, <transfer> to manage domain object sponsorship changes, and
  <update> to change information associated with a domain object.

  Transform commands are typically processed and completed in real time.
  Server operators MAY receive and process transform commands, but defer
  completing the requested action if human or third-party review is
  required before the requested action can be completed.  In such
  situations the server MUST return a 1001 response code to the client
  to note that the command has been received and processed, but the
  requested action is pending.  The server MUST also manage the status
  of the object that is the subject of the command to reflect the
  initiation and completion of the requested action.  Once the action
  has been completed, all clients involved in the transaction MUST be
  notified using a service message that the action has been completed
  and that the status of the object has changed.

3.2.1 EPP <create> Command

  The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to create a domain object.  In addition to the standard EPP
  command elements, the <create> command MUST contain a <domain:create>
  element that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the
  domain schema.  The <domain:create> element contains the following
  child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object to be created.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the initial
  registration period of the domain object.  A server MAY define a
  default initial registration period if not specified by the client.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:ns> element that contains the fully qualified
  names of the delegated host objects or host attributes (name servers)
  associated with the domain object to provide resolution services for
  the domain; see section 1.1 for a description of the elements used to
  specify host objects or host attributes.  A host object MUST be known
  to the server before the host object can be associated with a domain
  object.

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:registrant> element that contains the identifier
  for the human or organizational social information (contact) object to
  be associated with the domain object as the object registrant.  This
  object identifier MUST be known to the server before the contact
  object can be associated with the domain object.  The EPP mapping for
  contact objects is described in [EPP-C].

  - Zero or more OPTIONAL <domain:contact> elements that contain the
  identifiers for other contact objects to be associated with the domain
  object.  Contact object identifiers MUST be known to the server before
  the contact object can be associated with the domain object.

  - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization information
  to be associated with the domain object.  This mapping includes a
  password-based authentication mechanism, but the schema allows new
  mechanisms to be defined in new schemas.

  When a <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:creData> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:creData> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object.

  - A <domain:crDate> element that contains the date and time of domain
  object creation.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <create> command can not
  be processed for any reason.

3.2.2 EPP <delete> Command

  The EPP <delete> command provides a transform operation that allows a

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  client to delete a domain object.  In addition to the standard EPP
  command elements, the <delete> command MUST contain a <domain:delete>
  element that identifies the domain namespace and the location of the
  domain schema.  The <domain:delete> element contains the following
  child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object to be deleted.

  A domain object SHOULD NOT be deleted if subordinate host objects are
  associated with the domain object.  For example, if domain
  "example.com" exists, and host object "ns1.example.com" also exists,
  then domain "example.com" SHOULD NOT be deleted until host
  "ns1.example.com" has been either deleted or renamed to exist in a
  different superordinate domain.  A server SHOULD notify clients that
  object relationships exist by sending a 2305 error response code when
  a <delete> command is attempted and fails due to existing object
  relationships.  Delegated and subordinate host objects associated with
  a domain object can be determined using the <info> query command for
  the domain object.

  Example <delete> command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"

3.2.3 EPP <renew> Command

  The EPP <renew> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to extend the validity period of a domain object.  In addition
  to the standard EPP command elements, the <renew> command MUST contain
  a <domain:renew> element that identifies the domain namespace and the
  location of the domain schema.  The <domain:renew> element contains
  the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object whose validity period is to be extended.

  - A <domain:curExpDate> element that contains the date on which the
  current validity period ends.  This value ensures that repeated
  <renew> commands do not result in multiple unanticipated successful
  renewals.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
  units to be added to the registration period of the domain object.
  The number of units available MAY be subject to limits imposed by the
  server.

  When a <renew> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:renData> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:renData> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:exDate> element that contains the date and time
  identifying the end of the domain object's registration period.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <renew> command can not be
  processed for any reason.

3.2.4 EPP <transfer> Command

  The EPP <transfer> command provides a transform operation that allows
  a client to manage requests to transfer the sponsorship of a domain
  object.  In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
  <transfer> command MUST contain a <domain:transfer> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:transfer> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object for which a transfer request is to be created,
  approved, rejected, or cancelled.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:period> element that contains the number of
  units to be added to the registration period of the domain object at
  completion of the transfer process.  This element can only be used
  when a transfer is requested, and it MUST be ignored if used

Hollenbeck              Expires October 24, 2003               [Page 26]
Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  otherwise.  The number of units available MAY be subject to limits
  imposed by the server.

  - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization information
  associated with the domain object or authorization information
  associated with the domain object's registrant or associated contacts.
  An OPTIONAL "roid" attribute MUST be used to identify the registrant
  or contact object if and only if the given authInfo is associated with
  a registrant or contact object, and not the domain object itself.

  Every EPP <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute that
  identifies the transfer operation to be performed.  Valid values,
  definitions, and authorizations for all attribute values are defined
  in [EPP].

  Transfer of a domain object MUST implicitly transfer all host objects
  that are subordinate to the domain object.  For example, if domain
  object "example.com" is transferred and host object "ns1.example.com"
  exists, the host object MUST be transferred as part of the
  "example.com" transfer process.  Host objects that are subject to
  transfer when transferring a domain object are listed in the response
  to an EPP <info> command performed on the domain object.

  Example <transfer> request command:

  C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

  <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:trnData> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:trnData> element contains the same child elements defined
  for a transfer query response.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <transfer> command can not
  be processed for any reason.

3.2.5 EPP <update> Command

  The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
  client to modify the attributes of a domain object.  In addition to
  the standard EPP command elements, the <update> command MUST contain a
  <domain:update> element that identifies the domain namespace and the
  location of the domain schema. The <domain:update> element contains
  the following child elements:

Internet-Draft          EPP Domain Name Mapping           April 24, 2003

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object to be updated.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:add> element that contains attribute values to
  be added to the object.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:rem> element that contains attribute values to
  be removed from the object.

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:chg> element that contains object attribute
  values to be changed.

  At least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg> element MUST
  be provided.  The <domain:add> and <domain:rem> elements contain the
  following child elements:

  - An OPTIONAL <domain:ns> element that contains the fully qualified
  names of the delegated host objects or host attributes (name servers)
  associated with the domain object to provide resolution services for
  the domain; see section 1.1 for a description of the elements used to
  specify host objects or host attributes.  A host object MUST be known
  to the server before the host object can be associated with a domain
  object.  If host attributes are used to specify name servers, note
  that IP address elements are not needed to identify a name server that
  is being removed.  IP address elements can safely be absent or ignored
  in this situation.

  - Zero or more <domain:contact> elements that contain the identifiers
  for contact objects to be associated with or removed from the domain
  object.  Contact object identifiers MUST be known to the server before
  the contact object can be associated with the domain object.

  - Zero or more <domain:status> elements that contain status values to
  be applied to or removed from the object.  When specifying a value to
  be removed, only the attribute value is significant; element text is
  not required to match a value for removal.

  A <domain:chg> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:registrant> element that contains the identifier for the
  human or organizational social information (contact) object to be
  associated with the domain object as the object registrant.  This
  object identifier MUST be known to the server before the contact
  object can be associated with the domain object.  An empty element can
  be used to remove registrant information.

  - A <domain:authInfo> element that contains authorization information
  associated with the domain object.  This mapping includes a password-

  based authentication mechanism, but the schema allows new mechanisms
  to be defined in new schemas.  A <domain:null> element can be used
  within the <domain:authInfo> element to remove authorization
  information.

  An EPP error response MUST be returned if an <update> command can not
  be processed for any reason.

3.2.6 Offline Review of Requested Actions

  Commands are processed by a server in the order they are received from
  a client.  Though an immediate response confirming receipt and
  processing of the command is produced by the server, a server operator
  MAY perform an offline review of requested transform commands before
  completing the requested action.  In such situations the response from
  the server MUST clearly note that the transform command has been
  received and processed, but the requested action is pending.  The
  status of the corresponding object MUST clearly reflect processing of
  the pending action.  The server MUST notify the client when offline
  processing of the action has been completed.

  Examples describing a <create> command that requires offline review
  are included here.  Note the result code and message returned in
  response to the <create> command.

  The status of the domain object after returning this response MUST
  include "pendingCreate".  The server operator reviews the request
  offline, and informs the client of the outcome of the review by
  queuing a service message for retrieval via the <poll> command.

  The service message MUST contain text in the <response>, <msgQ>, <msg>
  element that describes the notification.  In addition, the EPP
  <resData> element MUST contain a child <domain:panData> element that
  identifies the domain namespace and the location of the domain schema.
  The <domain:panData> element contains the following child elements:

  - A <domain:name> element that contains the fully qualified name of
  the domain object.  The <domain:name> element contains a REQUIRED
  "paResult" attribute.  A positive boolean value indicates that the
  request has been approved and completed.  A negative boolean value
  indicates that the request has been denied and the requested action
  has not been taken.

  - A <domain:paTRID> element that contains the client transaction
  identifier and server transaction identifier returned with the
  original response to process the command.  The client transaction

  identifier is OPTIONAL and will only be returned if the client
  provided an identifier with the original <create> command.

  - A <domain:paDate> element that contains the date and time describing
  when review of the requested action was completed.

  An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation.  The formal
  syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of the

  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they are used to
  note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI registration

5. Internationalization Considerations

  EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
  information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
  representations including UTF-8.  Conformant XML processors recognize
  both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [RFC2781].  Though XML includes provisions to
  identify and use other character encodings through use of an
  "encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is
  RECOMMENDED in environments where parser encoding support
  incompatibility exists.

  All date-time values presented via EPP MUST be expressed in Universal
  Coordinated Time using the Gregorian calendar.  XML Schema allows use
  of time zone identifiers to indicate offsets from the zero meridian,
  but this option MUST NOT be used with EPP.  The extended date-time
  form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in [RFC3339] MUST
  be used to represent date-time values as XML Schema does not support
  truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z" characters.

  This document requires domain and host name syntax as specified in
  [RFC952] as updated by [RFC1123].  These conformance requirements
  might change as a result of progressing work in developing standards
  for internationalized domain names.

6. IANA Considerations

  This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
  conforming to a registry mechanism described in [IETF-XML].  Two URI
  assignments are requested.

  Registration request for the domain namespace:

  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0

  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
  document.

  XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

  Registration request for the domain XML schema:

  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:domain-1.0

  Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
  document.

  XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

7. Security Considerations

  Authorization information as described in section 2.6 is REQUIRED to
  create a domain object.  This information is used in some query and
  transfer operations as an additional means of determining client
  authorization to perform the command.  Failure to protect
  authorization information from inadvertent disclosure can result in
  unauthorized transfer operations and unauthorized information release.
  Both client and server MUST ensure that authorization information is
  stored and exchanged with high-grade encryption mechanisms to provide
  privacy services.

  The object mapping described in this document does not provide any
  other security services or introduce any additional considerations
  beyond those described by [EPP] and protocol layers used by EPP.
