Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) Domain Name Mapping Extension for
                      Strict Bundling Registration
               draft-yao-regext-bundling-registration-00

Abstract

   This document describes an 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.  This is a non-standard proprietary extension.

1.  Introduction

   In RFC4290, the "variant(s)" are character(s) and/or string(s) that
   are treated as equivalent to the base character.  In this document,
   variants are those strings that are treated to be equivalent to each
   other according the domain name registration policy.  Bundled domain

Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

   names are those which share the same TLD but whose second level
   labels are variants, or those which have identical second level
   labels for which certain parameters are shared in different TLDs.
   For an example, Public Interest Registry has requested to implement
   bundling of second level domains for .NGO and .ONG.  So we have two
   kinds of bundled domain names.  The first one is in the form of
   "V-label.TLD" in which the second level label (V-label) is a variant
   sharing the same TLD; Second one is in the form of "LABEL.V-tld" in
   which the second level label(LABEL) remains the same but ending with
   a different TLD (V-tld).

   Bundled domain names normally share some attributes.  Policy-wise
   bundling can be implemented in three ways.  The first one is strict
   bundling, which requires all bundled names to share many same
   attributes.  When creating, updating, or transferring of any of the
   bundled domain names, all bundled domain names will be created,
   updated or transferred atomically.  The second one is partial
   bundling, which requires the bundled domain names to be registered by
   the same registrant.  The third one is relaxed bundling, which has no
   specific requirements on the domain registration.  This document
   mainly addresses the strict bundling names registration.

   For the name variants, different registries have different policies.
   Some registries adopt the policy that variant IDNs should be blocked.
   But some registries adopt the policy that variant IDNs which are
   identified as equivalent are allocated or delegated to the same
   registrant.  For an example, most registries offering Chinese Domain
   Name (CDN) adopt a registration policy whereby a registrant can apply
   for an original CDN in any forms: Simplified Chinese (SC) form,
   Traditional Chinese (TC) form, or other variant forms, then the
   corresponding variant CDN in SC form and that in TC form will also be
   delegated to the same registrant.  All variant names in the same TLD
   share a common set of attributes.  This document mainly discuss the
   situation that variant IDNs which are identified as equivalent are
   allocated or delegated to the same registrant.

   The basic Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) domain name mapping
   [RFC5731] provides the facility for single domain name registration.
   It does not specify how to register the strict bundled names which
   share many of the attributes.

   In order to meet the above requirements of strict bundled name
   registration, this document describes an extension of the EPP domain
   name mapping [RFC5731] for the provisioning and management of bundled
   names.  This document describes a non-standard proprietary extension.
   This extension is especially useful for registries of practicing
   Chinese domain name registration.  This document is specified using
   Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described in

Yao, et al.                Expires May 3, 2021                  [Page 3]
Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

   [W3C.REC-xml-20040204] and XML Schema notation as described in
   [W3C.REC-xmlschema-1-20041028] and [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028].

   The EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730] provides a complete
   description of EPP command and response structures.  A thorough
   understanding of the base protocol specification is necessary to
   understand the extension mapping described in this document.

   This document uses many IDN concepts, so a thorough understanding of
   the IDNs for Application (IDNA, described in [RFC5890], [RFC5891],
   and [RFC5892]) and the variant approach discussed in [RFC4290] is
   assumed.

2.  Terminology

   Variants in this document are those strings that are treated to be
   equivalent to each other according the domain name registration
   policy for certain TLDs.

   Bundled domain names are those names with the form of
   "LABEL.Variants" or "Variants.LABEL" where LABEL is a same DNS label
   for the variants.  These names are bundled together according to the
   domain name registration policy.  Bundled domain names are also
   called variant IDNs.  Bundled domain names should belong to the same
   owner.  If bundled domain names are under different TLDs, those TLDs
   should be controlled by the same registry.

   uLabel in this document is used to express the U-label of an
   internationalized domain name as a series of characters where non-
   ASCII characters will be represented in the format of "&#xXXXX;"
   where XXXX is a UNICODE point by using the XML escaping mechanism.
   U-Label is defined in [RFC5890].

   The XML namespace prefix "b-dn" is used for the namespace
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:b-dn", but implementations must not rely
   on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and
   serializer to interpret and output the XML documents.

   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not a required feature of this specification.

   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.

3.  Definitions

   The following definitions are used in this document:

   o  Registered Domain Name (RDN), represents the valid domain name
      that registrants submitted for the initial registration.

   o  Bundled Domain Name (BDN), represents the bundled domain name
      produced according to the bundled domain name registration policy.

4.  Overview

   Domain registries have traditionally adopted a registration model
   whereby metadata relating to a domain name, such as its expiration
   date and sponsoring registrar, are stored as properties of the domain
   object.  The domain object is then considered an atomic unit of
   registration, on which operations such as update, renewal and
   deletion may be performed.

   Bundled names brought about the need for multiple domain names to be
   registered and managed as a single package.  In this model, the
   registry typically accepts a domain registration request (i.e.  EPP
   domain <create> command) containing the domain name to be registered.
   This domain name is referred to as the RDN in this document.  As part
   of the processing of the registration request, the registry generates
   a set of bundled names that are related to the RDN, either
   programmatically or with the guidance of registration policies, and
   places them in the registration package together with the RDN.

   The bundled names share many properties, such as expiration date and
   sponsoring registrar, by sharing the same domain object.  So when
   registrants update any property of a domain object within a bundle
   package, that property of all other domain objects in the bundle
   package will be updated at the same time.

5.  Requirement for Bundling Registration of Names

   The bundled names whether they are in the form of "V-label.TLD" or in
   the form of "LABEL.V-tld" should share some parameter or attributes
   associated with domain names.  Typically, bundled names will share
   the following parameters or attributes:
   o Registrar Ownership
   o Registration and Expiry Dates
   o Registrant, Admin, Billing, and Technical Contacts
   o Name Server Association
   o Domain Status

Yao, et al.                Expires May 3, 2021                  [Page 5]
Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

   o Applicable grace periods (Add Grace Period, Renewal Grace Period,
   Auto-Renewal Grace Period, Transfer Grace Period, and Redemption
   Grace Period)

   Because the domain names are bundled and share the same parameters or
   attributes, the EPP command should do some processing for these
   requirements:
   o When performing a domain check, either BDN or RDN can be queried
   for the EPP command, and will return the same response.
   o When performing a domain info, either BDN or RDN can be queried,
   the same response will include both BDN and RDN information with the
   same attributes.
   o When performing a domain Create, either of the bundle names will be
   accepted.  If the domain name is available, both BDN and RDN will be
   registered.
   o When performing a domain Delete, either BDN or RDN will be
   accepted.  If the domain name is registered, both BDN and RDN will be
   deleted.
   o When performing a domain renew, either BDN or RDN will be accepted.
   Upon a successful domain renewal, both BDN and RDN will have their
   expiry date extended by the requested term.  Upon a successful domain
   renewal, both BDN and RDN will conform to the same renew grace
   period.
   o When performing a domain transfer, either BDN or RDN will be
   accepted.  Upon successful completion of a domain transfer request,
   both BDN and RDN will enter a pendingTransfer status.  Upon approval
   of the transfer request, both BDN and RDN will be owned and managed
   by the same new registrant.
   o When performing a domain update, either BDN or RDN will be
   accepted.  Any modifications to contact associations, name server
   associations, domain status values and authorization information will
   be applied to both BDN and RDN.

6.  Object Attributes

   This extension defines following additional elements to the EPP
   domain name mapping [RFC5731].  All of these additional elements are
   returned from <domain:info> command.

6.1.  RDN

   The RDN is an ASCII name or an IDN with the A-label [RFC5890] form.
   In this document, its corresponding element is <b-dn:rdn>.  An
   optional attribute "uLabel" associated with <b-dn:rdn> is used to
   represent the U-label [RFC5890] form.

   For example: <b-dn:rdn uLabel="&#x5B9E;&#x4F8B;.example"> xn--
   fsq270a.example</b-dn:rdn>

Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

6.2.  BDN

   The BDN is an ASCII name or an IDN with the A-label [RFC5890] form
   which is converted from the corresponding BDN.  In this document, its
   corresponding element is <b-dn:bdn>.  An optional attribute "uLabel"
   associated with <b-dn:bdn> is used to represent the U-label [RFC5890]
   form.

   For example: <b-dn:bdn uLabel="&#x5BE6;&#x4F8B;.example"> xn--
   fsqz41a.example</b-dn:bdn>

7.  EPP Command Mapping

   A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
   in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730].  The command
   mappings described here are specifically for use in provisioning and
   managing bundled names via EPP.

7.1.  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.

7.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <check> command or
   <check> response described in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731].
   However, when either RDN or BDN is sent for check, response should
   contain both RDN and BDN information, which may also give some
   explanation in the reason field to tell the registrant that the
   associated domain name is a produced name according to some bundle
   domain name policy.

   Example <check> response:
   S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
   S:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
   S:  <response>
   S:    <result code="1000">
   S:      <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
   S:    </result>
   S:    <resData>
   S:      <domain:chkData
   S:        xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
   S:          <domain:cd>
   S:           <domain:name avail="1">
   S:            xn--fsq270a.example</domain:name>
   S:          </domain:cd>
   S:          <domain:cd>
   S:            <domain:name avail="1">
   S:              xn--fsqz41a.example
   S:            </domain:name>
   S:            <domain:reason>This associated domain name is
   S:              a produced name based on bundle name policy.
   S:            </domain:reason>
   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>

7.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <info> command
   described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731].  However, additional
   elements are defined for the <info> response.

   When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
   <resData> element must contain child elements as described in the EPP
   domain mapping [RFC5731].  In addition, unless some registration
   policy has some special processing, the EPP <extension> element
   should contain a child <b-dn:infData> element that identifies the
   extension namespace if the domain object has data associated with
   this extension and based on its registration policy.  The
   <b-dn:infData> element contains the <b-dn:bundle> which has the
   following child elements:

   o  An <b-dn:rdn> element that contains the RDN, along with the
      attribute described below.

   o  An optional <b-dn:bdn> element that contains the BDN, along with
      the attribute described below.

   The above elements contain the following attribute:

   o  An optional "uLabel" attribute represents the U-label of the
      element.

   <info> Response for the unauthorized client has not been changed,see
   [RFC5731] for detail.

   An EPP error response must be returned if an <info> command cannot be
   processed for any reason.

7.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Query Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <transfer> command
   or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731].

7.2.  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.

   When theses commands have been processed successfully, the EPP
   <resData> element must contain child elements as described in the EPP
   domain mapping [RFC5731].  Unless some registration policy has some
   special processing, this EPP <extension> element should contain the
   <b-dn:bundle> which has the following child elements:

   o  An <b-dn:rdn> element that contains the RDN, along with the
      attribute described below.

   o  An optional <b-dn:bdn> element that contains the BDN, along with
      the attribute described below.

   The above elements contain the following attribute:

   o  An optional "uLabel" attribute represents the U-label of the
      element.

7.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

   This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <create>
   command described in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] for
   bundled names registration.

   In addition to the EPP command elements described in the EPP domain
   mapping [RFC5731], the <create> command shall contain an <extension>
   element.  Unless some registration policy has some special
   processing, the <extension> element should contain a child
   <b-dn:create> element that identifies the bundle namespace, and a
   child <b-dn:rdn> element that identifies the U-Label form of the
   registered domain name with the uLabel attribute.

   Example <create> command:

   When an <create> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
   <creData> element must contain child elements as described in the EPP
   domain mapping [RFC5731].  In addition, unless some registration
   policy has some special processing, the EPP <extension> element
   should contain a child <b-dn:creData> element that identifies the
   extension namespace if the domain object has data associated with
   this extension and based on its registration policy.  The
   <b-dn:creData> element contains the <b-dn:bundle> element.

7.2.2.  EPP <delete> Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <delete> command
   described in the EPP domain mapping [RFC5731].  However, additional
   elements are defined for the <delete> response.

   When a <delete> command has been processed successfully, the EPP

   policy has some special processing, the EPP <extension> element
   should contain a child <b-dn:delData> element that identifies the
   extension namespace if the domain object has data associated with
   this extension and based on its registration policy.  The

7.2.3.  EPP <renew> Command

   This extension does not add any element to the EPP <renew> command
   described in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731].  However, when
   either RDN or BDN is sent for renew, response should contain both RDN
   and BDN information.  When the command has been processed

9.  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.  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 recommend.

   As an extension of the EPP domain name mapping, the elements, element
   content described in this document must inherit the
   internationalization conventions used to represent higher-layer
   domain and core protocol structures present in an XML instance that
   includes this extension.

10.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].  IANA is
   requested to assignment the following two URIs.

   Registration request for the IDN namespace:

   o  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:b-dn

Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

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

   o  XML: None.  Namespace URI does not represent an XML specification.

   Registration request for the IDN XML schema:

   o  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:b-dn

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

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

   The EPP extension described in this document should be registered by
   IANA in the "Extensions for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol
   (EPP)" registry described in [RFC7451].  The details of the
   registration are as follows:

   o  Name of Extension: "Domain Name Mapping Extension for Strict
      Bundling Registration"

   o  Document status: Informational

   o  Reference: This document

   o  Registrant Name and Email Address: IESG, iesg@ietf.org

   o  Top-Level Domains (TLDs): Any

   o  IPR Disclosure: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/

   o  Status: Active

   o  Notes: None

11.  Security Considerations

   Some registries and registrars have more than 15 years of the bundled
   registration of domain names (especially Chinese domain names).  They
   have not found any significant security issues.  One principle that
   the registry and registrar should let the registrants know is that
   bundled registered domain names will be created, transferred,
   updated, and deleted together as a group.  The registrants for
   bundled domain names should remember this principle when doing some
   operations to these domain names.  [RFC5730] also introduces some
   security consideration.

Internet-Draft          EPP bundled names Mapping           October 2020

   This document does not take a position regarding whether or not the
   bundled domain names share a DS/DNSKEY key.  The DNS administrator
   can choose whether DS/DNSKEY information can be shared or not.  If a
   DS/DNSKEY key is shared then the bundled domain names share fate if
   there is a key compromise.

12.  Implementation Status and some clarifications

   Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section before publication.

   o  The Chinese Domain Name Consortium(CDNC) including CNNIC, TWNIC,
      HKIRC, MONIC, SGNIC and more have followed the principles defined
      in this document for many years.

   o  CNNIC and TELEINFO have implemented this extension in their EPP
      based Chinese domain name registration system.

   o  Public Interest Registry, has requested to implement technical
      bundling of second level domains for .NGO and .ONG.  This means
      that by registering and purchasing a domain in the .ngo TLD, for
      an example, the NGO registrant is also registering and purchasing
      the corresponding name in the .ong TLD (and vice-versa for
      registrations in .ong).

   o  Patrick Mevzek has released a new version of Net::DRI, an EPP
      client (Perl library, free software) implementing this extension.

   o  The idea and main texts of this document has passed IETF REGEXT WG
      review.
