Abstract
Domain name registries (the producer) and registrars (the consumer)
report to each other by sharing bulk information through files. This
document creates two IANA registries to establish a standard
reporting mechanism between domain name registries and registrars.
The first IANA registry lists standard data elements and their syntax
for inclusion in the files. The second IANA registry lists standard
reports based on the standard data elements. Each report is a file
formatted as a CSV file. The advantage of this reporting mechanism
is that report, each file, can be imported by recipients without any
prior knowledge of their contents, although reporting is enhanced
with a minimum of knowledge about the files. The mechanism for the
transmission and reception of the files is a matter of local policy.

1. Introduction
Currently, domain name registry operators (the producer) create and
set their own domain name registration reports for use by their
registrars (the consumer). Among the distinctions that vary by
producer is the syntax of the data provided, e.g., date formats, and
the format of the collection of the data provided, e.g., the report
may be a CSV file that tends to allow for straightforward importation
or a PDF file that can be problematic to import. In addition,
although there are a number of best practice reports that have
evolved, these are not currently documented as such, which results in
a fair amount of customization on the part of the consumers to import
data.
Yee & Galvin Expires 26 August 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated Title February 2021
This document standardizes the name and syntax of the data elements
to be used across all existing domain name registration reports and
creates an IANA registry of them to facilitate their evolution,
including adding additional data elements as needed. In addition, a
known set of existing standard reports using the aforementioned data
elements is specified in another IANA registry to facilitate the
evolution of the reports and adding additional report definitions as
needed.
Each report definition MUST use the data elements defined here,
including all future reports. Future reports and future data
elements may be specified in their own individual documents, updating
the IANA registries as needed.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Data Element Specification
Data elements are grouped into categories for convenience. There is
no other significance to the groupings.
Each data element conceptually represents the column heading in a
printed report. It is a single unit of information that can be
passed from the producer to the consumer. The primary purposes of
the IANA registry of data elements are to ensure that each data
element is assigned a unique name and that the syntax of each data
element is specified.
The name of the data element MUST be unique and this characteristic
MUST be enforced by the registry. The name is used in the report
definition (in the next section) to alert the consumer as to what to
expect in the file and how to import the data element. Character
encoding recommendation for data delements is specificied in
Section 7.
The subsections below comprise an initial list of known data elements
commonly being used between producers and consumers as of the date of
publication of this document. The title of the subsection is the
field name for the data element. Field names in the IANA registry
MUST be unique and case insensitive.

3. Report Definition Specification
Each report specification conceptually represents a file of comma
separated values [RFC4180] (commonly called a CSV file) where the
values are selected from the data elements specified above. The
first row of the file is a comma separated list of field names as
specified in the data element registry. The remaining rows of the
file are the unordered sets of data elements, one set per row, where
each row is one transaction in the report.
Each data element in a set conceptually represents the column heading
in a printed report.
A consumer MUST be able to receive data elements that are not
recognized and MAY skip them accordingly, both in the header row and
in the transaction rows.
A report is specified in the report registry with two pieces of
information. First is the name of the report. This can be whatever
is appropriate as defined by the producer of the report. The name of
the report MUST be unique and this characteristic MUST be enforced by
registry.
Second is the ordered list of field names of what is included in the
report. The field names MUST be listed in the data element registry
specified above. The field names and the data MUST appear in the
report in the order listed in the report registry.

The subsections below comprise an initial list of standard reports
commonly being used between producers and consumers as of the date of
publication of this document. The title of the subsection is the
report name. The report name in the IANA registry must be unique and
case insensitive.
3.1. Transaction Report
[Note] There is a new column in this report that is not added to
other reports. It has been suggested that the report definition
indicate if a value is required for the field or if it can be empty.
The column was added to this report only for visualization and to
further discussion. This paragraph will be removed once the working
group discusses the issue and reaches consensus on direction.

4. IANA Considerations
This section describes the format of the IANA Registration Report
Registry, which has two tables described below, and the procedures
used to populate and manage the registry entries.
Yee & Galvin Expires 26 August 2021 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated Title February 2021
4.1. Report Specification
This registry uses the "Specification Required" policy described in
RFC 8126 [RFC8126]. An English language version of the extension
specification is required in the registry, though non-English
versions of the specification may also be provided.
The "Specification Required" policy implies review by a "designated
expert". Section 5.2 of RFC 8126 [RFC8126] describes the role of
designated experts and the function they perform.
4.1.1. Designated Expert Evaluation Criteria
A high-level description of the role of the designated expert is
described in Section 5.2 of RFC 8126 [RFC8126]. Specific guidelines
for the appointment of designated experts and the evaluation of a
Registration Report is provided here.
The IESG SHOULD appoint a small pool of individuals (perhaps 3 - 5)
to serve as designated experts, as described in Section 5.2 of RFC
8126 [RFC8126]. The pool should have a single administrative chair
who is appointed by the IESG. The designated experts should use the
existing regext mailing list (regext@ietf.org) for public discussion
of registration requests. This implies that the mailing list should
remain open after the work of the REGEXT working group has concluded.
The results of the evaluation should be shared via email with the
registrant and the regext mailing list. Issues discovered during the
evaluation can be corrected by the registrant, and those corrections
can be submitted to the designated experts until the designated
experts explicitly decide to accept or reject the registration
request. The designated experts must make an explicit decision and
that decision must be shared via email with the registrant and the
regext mailing list. If the specification for a field or report is
an IETF Standards Track document, no review is required by the
designated expert.
Designated experts should be permissive in their evaluation of
requests for fields and reports that have been implemented and
deployed by at least one registry. This implies that it may indeed
be possible to register multiple fields or reports that provide the
same functionality. Requests to register fields or reports that have
not been deployed should be evaluated with a goal of reducing
duplication. A potential registrant who submits a request to
register a new field or report that includes similar functionality to
existing fields or reports should be made aware of the existing
fields and reports. The registrant should be asked to reconsider
their request given the existence of similar fields or reports.

Internet-Draft Abbreviated Title February 2021
Should they decline to do so, perceived similarity should not be a
sufficient reason for rejection as long as all other requirements are
met.
4.1.2. Registration Procedure
The registry contains information describing each registered field
and report. Registry entries are created and managed by sending
forms to IANA that describe the field and report on the registry
entry.
4.1.2.1. Required Information
The required information must be formatted consistently using the
following registration form. Form field names and values may appear
on the same line.
4.1.2.1.1. Field Definition
The field name must be unique and evaluated in a case insensitive
way.
Name of field
Enforced to be case-insensitive and unique
Reference document defining the field, including section number
SHOULD be a URL to a RFC, MAY be a URL to any document
available under equivalent terms
Registrant
Will be IESG for initial entries
Status
MUST be active, inactive, unknown
4.1.2.1.2. Report Definition
The report name must be unique and case insensitive.
Name of Report
Document Status
Reference
Registrant:IESG
TLD:any
Yee & Galvin Expires 26 August 2021 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated Title February 2021
Status:active
4.1.2.2. Registration Processing
Registrants should send each registration form to IANA with a single
record for incorporation into the registry. Send the form via email
to iana@iana.org or complete the online form found on the IANA web
site. The subject line should indicate whether the enclosed form
represents an insertion of a new record (indicated by the word
"INSERT" in the subject line) or a replacement of an existing record
(indicated by the word "MODIFY" in the subject line). At no time can
a record be deleted from the registry. On receipt of the
registration request, IANA will initiate review by the designated
expert(s) if appropriate, who will evaluate the request using the
criteria in Section 4.1.1 in consultation with the regext mailing
list.
4.1.2.3. Updating Report Definition Registry Entries
When submitting changes to existing registry entries, include text in
the "Notes" field of the registration form describing the change.
Under normal circumstances, registry entries are only to be updated
by the registrant. If the registrant becomes unavailable or
otherwise unresponsive, the designated expert can submit a
registration form to IANA to update the registrant information.
Entries can change state from "Active" to "Inactive" and back again
as long as state-change requests conform to the processing
requirements identified in this document. In addition to entries
that become "Inactive" due to a lack of implementation, entries for
which a specification becomes consistently unavailable over time
should be marked "Inactive" by the designated expert until the
specification again becomes reliably available.

5. Security Considerations
Items to be covered in a future version:
SHOULD NOT expose secret information, e.g., authInfo
This report does not address delivery mechanisms but due
consideration should be given to access of reports. Note encryption
is something to consider for controlling access.
6. Privacy Considerations
Items to be covered in a future version:
Note that reports may contain Personally Identifiable Information
7. Internationalization Considerations
The character encoding for the file contents MUST use UTF-8.

Throughout this document A-LABEL is indicated as a SHOULD and that
MUST be interpreted as follows. All domain name labels MUST be in
A-LABEL format if it is possible to represent it as an A-LABEL,
otherwise U-LABEL MAY be used.
