Introduction Modern top-level domain registries provide many detailed reports and documents that their registrars require on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. These most commonly include transaction reports, as well as lists containing currently unavailable domains and current premium domain fees. These reports are critical for registrars' businesses and play an important role in accounting and operations processes as well as in sales and marketing activities. In the current set-up, registrars must download these reports from each registry's intranet differently according to each registry's document management set up. A domain inventory comparison between the domains that are on an accreditation/account and the domain names that a registrar/reseller has in its system is therefore useful. This document describes the content of a Domain Inventory Report based on the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure] and delivered by the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-reporting-repository]. 2. Terminology and Definitions 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 [RFC2119] when specified in their uppercase forms. Sattler Expires October 14, 2019 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Domain Inventory Report April 2019 2.1. Internationalized Domain Names MUST be as defined in [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure]. 2.2. Character Encoding MUST be as defined in [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure]. 2.3. Dates and Times MUST be as defined in [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure]. 3. Report Headings The first row MUST be the column headings in the following order: TLD It MUST contain the top-level domain name and formatted according to section 2.1 of this document. DOMAIN It MUST contain the domain name formatted according to section 2.1 of this document. UPDATED It MUST contain the date and time of the most recent domain-object modification. If the domain object has never been modified, then the date and time of domain-object creation have to be used. Formatting in both cases according to section 2.3 of this document. ID It MUST contain a unique ID according to section 4 of this document. 4. Unique ID A unique ID MUST either be according to the IANA registrar IDs (https://www.iana.org/assignments/registrar-ids/registrar-ids.xhtml) where applicable or another unique registrar or reseller ID MUST be used. 5. Examples 5.1. Single TLD File Example This is an example of a domain inventory report for a single top-level domain .example.

IANA Considerations This document has no IANA actions. 7. Security Considerations The Domain Inventory Report described in this document does not provide any security services. 8. Implementation Status Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to [RFC7942] before publication. This section records the status of known implementations of the protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942]. The description of implementations in this section is intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may exist. According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature. It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as they see fit".
