Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 1. Introduction This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730]. This EPP mapping specifies a flexible schema that can be used to implement several common use cases related to the provisioning and management of domain name registrations and applications during the launch of a domain name registry. It is typical for domain registries to operate in special modes during their initial launch to facilitate allocation of domain names, often according to special rules. This document uses the term "launch phase" and the shorter form "launch" to refer to such a period. The EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] is designed for the steady- state operation of a registry. During a launch period, the model in place may be different from what is defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. For example, registries often accept multiple applications for the same domain name during the "Sunrise" launch phase, referred to as a Launch Application. A Launch Registration refers to a registration made during a launch phase when the server uses a "first-come, first-served" model. Even in a "first-come, first-served" model, additional steps and information might be required, such as trademark information. In addition, the TMCH Functional Specification [1] defines a registry interface for the Trademark Claims or "claims" launch phase that includes support for presenting a Trademark Claims Notice to the Registrant. This document proposes an extension to the domain name mapping in order to provide a uniform interface for the management of Launch Applications and Launch Registrations in launch phases. 1.1. Conventions Used in This Document 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]. XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the character case presented in order to develop a conforming implementation. 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 protocol. Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 "launch-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0". The XML namespace prefix "launch" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents. "signedMark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0" that is defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. The XML namespace prefix "smd" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents. "mark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0" that is defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. The XML namespace prefix "mark" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents. 2. Object Attributes This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. Only those new elements are described here. 2.1. Application Identifier Servers MAY allow multiple applications, referred to as a Launch Application, of the same domain name during its launch phase operations. Upon receiving a valid request to create a Launch Application, the server MUST create an application object corresponding to the request, assign an application identifier for the Launch Application, set the [RFC5731] pendingCreate status, and return the application identifier to the client with the element. In order to facilitate correlation, all subsequent launch operations on the Launch Application MUST be qualified by the previously assigned application identifier using the element. If the command processes a request synchronously without the use of an intermediate Launch Application, then an application identifier MAY not be needed. 2.2. Validator Identifier The Validator Identifier is the unique identifier for a Trademark Validator that validates marks and has a repository of validated Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 marks. The OPTIONAL "validatorID" attribute is used to define the Validator Identifier of the Trademark Validator. Registries MAY support more than one Third Party Trademark Validator. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) is the default Trademark Validator and is reserved the Validator Identifier of "tmch". If the ICANN TMCH is not used or multiple Trademark Validators are used, the Validator Identifier MUST be defined using the "validatorID" attribute. The Validator Identifier MAY be related to one or more issuer identifiers of the element and the element defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. Both the Validator Identifier and the Issuer Identifier used MUST be unique. The list of validator identifiers and the relationship to issuer identifiers is out of scope for this document. 2.3. Launch Phases The server MAY support multiple launch phases sequentially or simultaneously. The element MUST be included by the client to define the target launch phase of the command. The server SHOULD validate the phase and MAY validate the sub-phase of the element against the active phase and OPTIONAL sub- phase of the server on a create command, and return an EPP error result code of 2306 if there is a mismatch. The following launch phase values are defined: sunrise The phase during which trademark holders can submit registrations or applications with trademark information that can be validated by the server. landrush A post-Sunrise phase when non-trademark holders are allowed to register domain names with steps taken to address a large volume of initial registrations. claims The Trademark Claims phase, as defined in the TMCH Functional Specification [2], in which a Claims Notice must be displayed to a prospective registrant of a domain name that matches trademarks. open A post-launch phase that is also referred to as "steady state". Servers MAY require additional trademark protection during this phase. custom A custom server launch phase that is defined using the "name" attribute. For extensibility, the element includes an OPTIONAL "name" attribute that can define a sub-phase or the full name of the phase when the element has the "custom" value. For example, the "claims" launch phase could have two sub-phases that include "landrush" and "open". Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 Launch phases MAY overlap to support the "claims" launch phase, defined in the TMCH Functional Specification [2], and to support a traditional "landrush" launch phase. The overlap of the "claims" and "landrush" launch phases SHOULD be handled by setting "claims" as the value and setting "landrush" as the sub-phase with the "name" attribute. For example, the element SHOULD be claims. 2.4. Status Values A Launch Application or Launch Registration object MAY have a launch status value. The element is used to convey the launch status pertaining to the object, beyond what is specified in the object mapping. A Launch Application or Launch Registration MUST set the [RFC5731] "pendingCreate" status if a launch status is supported and the launch status is not one of the final statuses, including the "allocated" and "rejected" statuses. The following status values are defined using the required "s" attribute: pendingValidation: The initial state of a newly-created application or registration object. The application or registration requires validation, but the validation process has not yet completed. validated: The application or registration meets relevant registry rules. invalid: The application or registration does not validate according to registry rules. Server policies permitting, it may transition back into "pendingValidation" for revalidation, after modifications are made to ostensibly correct attributes that caused the validation failure. pendingAllocation: The allocation of the application or registration is pending based on the results of some out-of-band process (for example, an auction). allocated: The object corresponding to the application or registration has been provisioned. Is a possible end state of an application or registration object. rejected: The application or registration object was not provisioned. Is a possible end state of an application or registration object. custom: A custom status that is defined using the "name" attribute. Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string of human-readable text that describes the rationale for the status applied to the object. The OPTIONAL "lang" attribute MAY be present to identify the language if the negotiated value is something other than the default value of "en" (English). For extensibility the element includes an OPTIONAL Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 "name" attribute that can define a sub-status or the full name of the status when the status value is "custom". The server SHOULD NOT use the "custom" status value. Status values MAY be skipped. For example, an application or registration MAY immediately start at the "allocated" status or an application or registration MAY skip the "pendingAllocation" status. If the launch phase does not require validation of a request, an application or registration MAY immediately skip to "pendingAllocation". Gould, et al.

Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 2.5. Poll Messaging A Launch Application MUST and a Launch Registration MAY be handled as a domain name of [RFC5731] in "pendingCreate" status, with the launch status values defined in Section 2.4. As a Launch Application or Launch Registration transitions between the status values defined in Section 2.4, the server SHOULD insert poll messages, per [RFC5730], for the applicable intermediate statuses, including the "pendingValidation", "validated", "pendingAllocation, and "invalid" statuses, using the element with the extension. The element MAY contain non- mandatory information, like contact and name server information. Also, further extensions that would normally be included in the response of a command, per [RFC5731], MAY be included. For the final statuses, including the "allocated" and "rejected" statuses, the server MUST insert a poll message, per [RFC5731], with the extension. Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 The following is an example poll message for a Launch Application that has transitioned to the "pendingAllocation" state.

Mark Validation Models A server MUST support at least one of the following models for validating trademark information: code Use of a mark code by itself to validate that the mark matches the domain name. This model is supported using the element with just the element. Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 mark The mark information is passed without any other validation element. The server will use some custom form of validation to validate that the mark information is authentic. This model is supported using the element with just the (Section 2.6.2) element. code with mark: A code is used along with the mark information by the server to validate the mark utilizing an external party. The code represents some form of secret that matches the mark information passed. This model is supported using the element that contains both the and the (Section 2.6.2) elements. signed mark: The mark information is digitally signed as described in the Digital Signature (Section 2.6.3) section. The digital signature can be directly validated by the server using the public key of the external party that created the signed mark using its private key. This model is supported using the (Section 2.6.3.1) and (Section 2.6.3.2) elements. More than one , (Section 2.6.3.1), or (Section 2.6.3.2) element MAY be specified. The maximum number of marks per domain name is up to server policy. 2.6.1. element The element that is used by the "code", "mark", and "code with mark" validation models, has the following child elements: : OPTIONAL mark code used to validate the (Section 2.6.2) information. The mark code is be a mark-specific secret that the server can verify against a third party. The OPTIONAL "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier (Section 2.2) whose value indicates which Trademark Validator that the code originated from, with no default value. : OPTIONAL mark information with child elements defined in the Mark (Section 2.6.2) section. The following is an example element with both a and (Section 2.6.2) element. 49FD46E6C4B45C55D4AC ... Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 2.6.2. element A element describes an applicant's prior right to a given domain name that is used with the "mark", "mark with code", and the "signed mark" validation models. The element is defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. A new mark format can be supported by creating a new XML schema for the mark that has an element that substitutes for the element from [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. 2.6.3. Digital Signature Digital signatures MAY be used by the server to validate either the mark information, when using the "signed mark" validation model with the (Section 2.6.3.1) element or the (Section 2.6.3.2) element. 2.6.3.1. element The element contains the digitally signed mark information. The element is defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. A new signed mark format can be supported by creating a new XML schema for the signed mark that has an element that substitutes for the element from [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. 2.6.3.2. element The element contains an encoded form of the digitally signed (Section 2.6.3.1) element. The element is defined in [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. A new encoded signed mark format can be supported by creating a new XML schema for the encoded signed mark that has an element that substitutes for the element from [draft-ietf-eppext-tmch-smd]. 3. 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 the Launch Phase Extension. This mapping is designed to be flexible, requiring only a minimum set of required elements. While it is meant to serve several use cases, it does not prescribe Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 any interpretation by the client or server. Such processing is typically highly policy-dependent and therefore specific to implementations. Operations on application objects are done via one or more of the existing EPP verbs defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. Registries MAY choose to support a subset of the operations. 3.1. EPP Command There are two forms of the extension to the EPP command: the Claims Check Form (Section 3.1.1) and the Availability Check Form (Section 3.1.2). The element "type" attribute defines the form, with the value of "claims" for the Claims Check Form (Section 3.1.1) and with the value of "avail" for the Availability Check Form (Section 3.1.2). The default value of the "type" attribute is "claims". The forms supported by the server is determined by server policy. The server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2307 if it receives a check form that is not supported. 3.1.1. Claims Check Form The Claims Check Form defines a new command called the Claims Check Command that is used to determine whether or not there are any matching trademarks, in the specified launch phase, for each domain name passed in the command. The availability check information defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] MUST NOT be returned for the Claims Check Command. This form is the default form and MAY be explicitly identified by setting the "type" attribute to "claims". Instead of returning whether the domain name is available, the Claims Check Command will return whether or not at least one matching trademark exists for the domain name. If there is at least one matching trademark that exists for the domain name, a element is returned. The client MAY then use the value of the element to obtain information needed to generate the Trademark Claims Notice from Trademark Validator based on the Validator Identifier (Section 2.2). The unique notice identifier of the Trademark Claims Notice MUST be passed in the element of the extension to the Create Command (Section 3.3). The elements in the EPP command of EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] define the domain names to check for matching trademarks. The element contains the following child elements: Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 16] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 The launch phase that SHOULD be "claims". Example Claims Check command using the domain command and the extension with the "type" explicitly set to "claims", to determine if "example1.tld" and "example2.tld" have any matching trademarks during the "claims" launch phase: C: C: C: C: C: C: example1.tld C: example2.tld C: C: C: C: C: claims C: C: C: ABC-12345 C: C: If the command has been processed successfully, the EPP MUST contain an element that identifies the launch namespace. The element contains the following child elements: The launch phase that SHOULD be "claims". One or more elements that contain the following child elements: Contains the fully qualified name of the queried domain name. This element MUST contain an "exists" attribute whose value indicates if a matching trademark exists for the domain name. A value of "1" (or "true") means that a matching trademark does exist for the claims launch phase. A value of "0" (or "false") means that a matching trademark does not exist. Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 17] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 An OPTIONAL claim key that MAY be passed to a third-party trademark validator such as the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for querying the information needed to generate a Trademark Claims Notice. The is used as the key for the query in place of the domain name to securely query the service without using a well-known value like a domain name. The OPTIONAL "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier (Section 2.2) whose value indicates which Trademark Validator to query for the Claims Notice information, with the default being the ICANN TMCH. Example Claims Check response when no matching trademarks are found for the domain name example1.tld and matching trademarks are found for the domain name example2.tld for the "claims" launch phase: S: S: S: S: S: Command completed successfully S: S: S: S: claims S: S: example1.tld S: S: S: example2.tld S: S: 2013041500/2/6/9/rJ1NrDO92vDsAzf7EQzgjX4R0000000001 S: S: S: S: S: S: ABC-12345 S: 54321-XYZ S: S: S: 3.1.2. Availability Check Form The Availability Check Form defines additional elements to extend the EPP command described in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. No additional elements are defined for the EPP Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 18] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 response. This form MUST be identified by setting the "type" attribute to "avail". The EPP command is used to determine if an object can be provisioned within a repository. Domain names may be made available only in unique launch phases, whilst remaining unavailable for concurrent launch phases. In addition to the elements expressed in the , the command is extended with the element that contains the following child elements: The launch phase to which domain name availability should be determined. Example Availability Check Form command using the domain command and the extension with the "type" set to "avail", to determine the availability of two domain names in the "idn-release" custom launch phase: C: C: C: C: C: C: example1.tld C: example2.tld C: C: C: C: C: custom C: C: C: ABC-12345 C: C: The Availability Check Form does not define any extension to the response of an domain command. After processing the command, the server replies with a standard EPP response as defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. 3.2. EPP Command This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP command and response to be used in conjunction with the EPP domain Gould, et al. Expires September 18, 2014 [Page 19] Internet-Draft Launch Phase Mapping for EPP March 2014 name mapping [RFC5731]. The EPP command is used to retrieve information for a launch phase registration or application. The Application Identifier (Section 2.1) returned in the element of the create response (Section 3.3) is used for retrieving information for a Launch Application.

EPP Command There are four forms of the extension to the EPP command that include the Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1), the Claims Create Form (Section 3.3.2), the General Create Form (Section 3.3.3), and the Mixed Create Form (Section 3.3.4). The form is dependent on the supported launch phases (Section 2.3) as defined below. sunrise The EPP command with the "sunrise" launch phase is used to submit a registration with trademark information that can be verified by the server with the value. The Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1) is used for the "sunrise" launch phase. landrush The EPP command with the "landrush" launch phase MAY use the General Create Form (Section 3.3.3) to explicitly specify the phase and optionally define the expected type of object to create. claims The EPP command with the "claims" launch phase is used to pass the information associated with the presentation and acceptance of the Claims Notice. The Claims Create Form (Section 3.3.2) is used and the General Create Form (Section 3.3.3) MAY be used for the "claims" launch phase. open The EPP command with the "open" launch phase is undefined but the form supported is up to server policy. custom The EPP command with the "custom" launch phase is undefined but the form supported is up to server policy. 3.3.1. Sunrise Create Form The Sunrise Create Form of the extension to the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] includes the verifiable trademark information that the server uses to match against the domain name to authorize the domain create. A server MUST support one of four models in Claim Validation Models (Section 2.6) to verify the trademark information passed by the client. A element is sent along with the regular domain command. The element has an OPTIONAL "type" attribute that defines the expected type of object ("application" or "registration") to create. The server SHOULD validate the "type" attribute, when passed, against the type of object that will be created. The element contains the following child elements: Gould, et al.

IANA Considerations This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688]. One URI assignment has been registered by the IANA. Registration request for the Launch namespace: URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0 Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this document. XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification. 8. Security Considerations The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any security services beyond those described by EPP [RFC5730], the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731], and protocol layers used by EPP. The security considerations described in these other specifications apply to this specification as well. Updates to, and deletion of an application object must be restricted to clients authorized to perform the said operation on the object. As information contained within an application, or even the mere fact that an application exists may be confidential. Any attempt to operate on an application object by an unauthorized client MUST be rejected with an EPP 2201 (authorization error) return code. Server policy may allow operation with filtered output by clients other than the sponsoring client, in which case the and response SHOULD be filtered to include only fields that are publicly accessible. 9.
