Document Shepherd Writeup
draft-ietf-regext-bundling-registration-11

Technical Summary
This document describes a non-standard proprietary extension of Extensible
Provisioning Protocol (EPP) domain name mapping for the provisioning and
management of strict bundling registration of domain names. Specified in XML,
this mapping extends the EPP domain name mapping to provide additional features
required for the provisioning of bundled domain names.

Working Group Summary
The WG discussed this topic in both mailing list and at meetings, there are no
controversies or lack of coverage.  The working group had discussed and
considered to move forward as an Informational RFC because it is documenting a
proprietary extension, the WG and the related BOF (DNSBundle) discussed the
topic this document covers, and nobody objects to its publication within the
limited scope it covers.

The original draft has covers more different scenarios (relax bundling), also
had some other drafts covering similar problems, and the working group was also
mindful of work output and coordination needed with DNSBundle.   The work
effort was consolidated and moved forward to cover a very specific scenario
only. The working group also agrees that DNSBundle does not prevent the
publication of the draft covering the specific scenario (strict bundling).

This document covers the very specific scenario, strict bundling, and
introduces one specific mechanism on how to manage that problem space. The WG
is aware of the narrow specific scope this document covers and discussed how
best to move this document forward. he consensus is to progress this document
as an Informational RFC.

Document Quality
There are two registry implementations captured in the Implementation Status
section. There is one open source implementation available on client side.
