Abstract
This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
extension mapping for the management of Domain Name System (DNS)
domain names subject to "grace period" policies defined by the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Grace
period policies exist to allow protocol actions to be reversed or
otherwise revoked during a short period of time after the protocol
action has been performed. Specified in XML, this mapping extends
the EPP domain name mapping to provide additional features required
for grace period processing.

RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
1. Introduction
This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) described in RFC 3730 [1].
This mapping, an extension of the domain name mapping described in
RFC 3731 [2], is specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0 [3] and XML Schema notation ([4], [5]).
The EPP core protocol specification [1] provides a complete
description of EPP command and response structures. A thorough
understanding of the base protocol specification is necessary to
understand the mapping described in this document.
Over the course of several months in 2002, The Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) developed an implementation
proposal to provide a "grace period" for Domain Name System (DNS)
domain name recovery (or redemption) before a domain name is purged
from the repository of the authoritative registry for the domain
name. This mapping extends the EPP domain <update> command to
initiate the redemption process for a domain name that has entered
the Redemption Grace Period (RGP) and it extends the EPP domain
<info> response to identify the status of domains that have entered
various grace periods defined by ICANN policy.
In March 2003, ICANN published a task force report describing other
domain registry grace periods related to EPP operations. This
mapping describes extension status values to note the grace periods
described in the report, including:
o An "add grace period" after the initial registration of a domain
name. If the domain name is deleted by the registrar during this
period, the registry provides a credit to the registrar for the
cost of the registration.
o An "auto-renew grace period" after a domain name registration
period expires and is extended (renewed) automatically by the
registry. If the domain name is deleted by the registrar during
this period, the registry provides a credit to the registrar for
the cost of the renewal.
o A "renew grace period" after a domain name registration period is
explicitly extended (renewed) by the registrar. If the domain
name is deleted by the registrar during this period, the registry
provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the renewal.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
o A "transfer grace period" after the successful transfer of domain
name registration sponsorship from one registrar to another
registrar. If the domain name is deleted by the new sponsoring
registrar during this period, the registry provides a credit to
the registrar for the cost of the transfer.
Each grace period exists for a specific period of time that is
typically measured in days. The duration of each grace period is a
matter of registry operational policy that is not addressed in this
document.
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 BCP 14, RFC 2119 [6].
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 is provided only to illustrate element
relationships and is 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.
2. Redemption Grace Period State Diagram
The Redemption Grace Period (RGP) involves several domain state
transitions as a domain name moves through the redemption process:
1. A domain is initially in the EPP "ok" status, or some other
status that allows processing of the EPP <delete> command.
2. A <delete> command is received and processed for the domain name.
3. RGP begins once the <delete> command is processed successfully.
The EPP status changes to "pendingDelete", and the RGP status is
initialized to "redemptionPeriod". The domain remains in this
state until either a <restore> operation is requested or the
redemption period elapses.
4. A <restore> operation can be requested using the extended EPP
<update> command. Go to step 8 if the redemption period elapses
before a <restore> request is received.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
5. If the <restore> is successful, the Registry waits to receive a
restore report from the registrar for a period of time defined by
the Registry. The EPP status remains "pendingDelete" and the RGP
status changes to "pendingRestore". While this extension defines
a method to deliver a restore report via EPP, an out-of-band
mechanism (such as a web site) can also be used to deliver
restore reports.
6. The domain name returns to the redemption period state (state 3)
if a restore report is not received.
7. If a restore report is received the EPP status returns to "ok"
(or whatever it was prior to processing the <delete> command),
and the RGP status is removed completely.
8. The redemption period elapses before a <restore> request is
received.
9. The EPP status remains "pendingDelete" and the RGP status changes
to "pendingDelete". The domain name remains in this state for a
period of time defined by the Registry.
10. The domain name is purged once the pending delete period elapses.
11. The domain name is available for re-registration.

3. Object Attributes
This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
mapping [2]. Only new element descriptions are described here.
3.1. Status Values
This extension defines new status values to represent the different
states that a domain name can be in as a result of grace period
processing. These are:
addPeriod: This grace period is provided after the initial
registration of a domain name. If the domain name is deleted by
the registrar during this period, the registry provides a credit
to the registrar for the cost of the registration.
autoRenewPeriod: This grace period is provided after a domain
name registration period expires and is extended (renewed)
automatically by the registry. If the domain name is deleted by
the registrar during this period, the registry provides a credit
to the registrar for the cost of the renewal.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
renewPeriod: This grace period is provided after a domain name
registration period is explicitly extended (renewed) by the
registrar. If the domain name is deleted by the registrar during
this period, the registry provides a credit to the registrar for
the cost of the renewal.
transferPeriod: This grace period is provided after the
successful transfer of domain name registration sponsorship from
one registrar to another registrar. If the domain name is deleted
by the new sponsoring registrar during this period, the registry
provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the transfer.
redemptionPeriod: This status value is used to describe a
domain for which a <delete> command has been received, but the
domain has not yet been purged because an opportunity exists to
restore the domain and abort the deletion process.
pendingRestore: This status value is used to describe a domain that
is in the process of being restored after being in the
redemptionPeriod state.
pendingDelete: This status value is used to describe a domain that
has entered the purge processing state after completing the
redemptionPeriod state. A domain in this status MUST also be in
the pendingDelete status described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
3.2. Registration Data and Supporting Information
This extension allows a client to provide copies of registration data
(whois [9] data, for example) and supporting information in a restore
report as required by the RGP process. No specific format is
required by this extension; both free text and XML markup MAY be
used.
Operators of servers that provide registration data might find it
useful to provide grace period status values in their responses to
client queries. This information can be useful to people who want to
understand the operations that can be performed on a domain name at
any give time.
3.3. Dates and Times
Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
Coordinated Time (UTC) using the Gregorian calendar. The extended
date-time form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in RFC
3339 [7] MUST be used to represent date-time values as XML Schema
does not support truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z"
characters.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
3.4. Client Statements
The RGP process requires a client to make two statements regarding
the data included in a restore report. No specific format is
required by this extension; both free text and XML markup MAY be
used. English is the default language used within the statements,
but other languages MAY be used.
4. EPP Command Mapping
A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
in the EPP core protocol specification [1]. The command mappings
described here are specifically for use in implementing redemption
grace period processes via EPP.
4.1. EPP Query Commands
EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check>
to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve
detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to
retrieve object transfer status information.
4.1.1. EPP <check> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <check> command
or <check> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
4.1.2. EPP <info> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <info> command
described in the EPP domain mapping [2]. 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 [2]. In
addition, the EPP <extension> element MUST contain a child
<rgp:infData> element that identifies the registry grace period
namespace and the location of the registry grace period schema. The
<rgp:infData> element contains a single <rgp:rgpStatus> element that
contains a single attribute "s" whose value describes the current
grace period status of the domain. Possible status values are
described in section Section 3.1.

4.1.3. EPP <transfer> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
[2].
4.2. EPP Transform Commands
EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create
an instance of an object, <delete> to delete an instance of an
object, <renew> to extend the validity period of an object,
<transfer> to manage object sponsorship changes, and <update> to
change information associated with an object.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
4.2.1. EPP <create> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <create> command
or <create> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
4.2.2. EPP <delete> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <delete> command
or <delete> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
4.2.3. EPP <renew> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <renew> command
or <renew> response described in the EPP domain mapping [2].
4.2.4. EPP <transfer> Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer>
command or <transfer> response described in the EPP domain mapping
[2].
4.2.5. EPP <update> Command
This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <update>
command and response described in the EPP domain mapping [2] for
redemption grace period processing.
The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to change the state of a domain object. The registry grace
period extension modifies base update processing to support
redemption of domain names for which a <delete> command has been
processed, but the name has not yet been purged.
Section 3.2.5 of the EPP domain mapping describes the elements that
have to be specified within an <update> command. The requirement to
provide at least one <domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg>
element is updated by this extension such that at least one empty
<domain:add>, <domain:rem>, or <domain:chg> element MUST be present
if this extension is specified within an <update> command. This
requirement is updated to disallow the possibility of modifying a
domain object as part of redemption grace period recovery processing.
In addition to the EPP command elements described in the EPP domain
mapping [2], the <update> command MUST contain an <extension>
element. The <extension> element MUST contain a child <rgp:update>
element that identifies the registry grace period namespace and the
location of the registry grace period schema. The <rgp:update>
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
element contains a single <rgp:restore> element that contains an
OPTIONAL <rgp:report> element that MAY be used to deliver a
redemption grace period restore report.
The <rgp:restore> element contains a REQUIRED "op" attribute that
describes the redemption grace period operation being requested. Two
values are defined: "request" is used to identify a restore request
that does not include a restore report, and "report" is used to
identify a restore request that contains a restore report. A report
MAY be submitted more than once if corrections are required. If the
value of the "op" attribute is "request" an <rgp:report> element MUST
NOT be present. If the value of the "op" attribute is "report" an
<rgp:report> element MUST be present.
The <rgp:report> element contains the following child elements:
- An <rgp:preData> element that contains a copy of the registration
data that existed for the domain name prior to the domain name
being deleted. This element MAY contain both text and XML markup.
- An <rgp:postData> element that contains a copy of the registration
data that exists for the domain name at the time the restore
report is submitted. This element MAY contain both text and XML
markup.
- An <rgp:delTime> element that contains the date and time when the
domain name delete request was sent to the server.
- An <rgp:resTime> element that contains the date and time when the
original <rgp:restore> command was sent to the server.
- An <rgp:resReason> element that contains a brief explanation of
the reason for restoring the domain name.
- An <rgp:statement> element that contains a text statement that the
client has not restored the domain name in order to assume the
rights to use or sell the domain name for itself or for any third
party. Supporting information related to this statement MAY be
supplied in the <rgp:other> element described below. An OPTIONAL
"lang" attribute MAY be present to identify the language if
English (value "en") is not used to represent the statement.
- A second <rgp:statement> element that contains a text statement
that the information in the restore report is factual to the best
of the client's knowledge. An OPTIONAL "lang" attribute MAY be
present to identify the language if English (value "en") is not
used to represent the statement.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
- An OPTIONAL <rgp:other> element that contains any information
needed to support the statements provided by the client. This
element MAY contain both text and XML markup.
More detailed information describing the information required to be
provided in a restore report is available from ICANN.

When an extended <update> command without a restore report has been
processed successfully, the EPP response is as described in the EPP
domain mapping [2] except that an extension element is added to
describe grace period status as a result of processing the <update>
command. The extension element contains a single child element
(<upData>) that itself contains a single child element (<rgpStatus>)
that contains a single attribute "s" whose value MUST be
"pendingRestore" if the <restore> request has been accepted.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 15]

Example "restore request" <update> response:
S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

S:</epp>
When an extended <update> command with a restore report has been
processed successfully, the EPP response is as described in the EPP
domain mapping [2] with no registry grace period extension. Registry
grace period extension is not required because acceptance of the
restore report completes redemption grace period processing.
5. Formal Syntax
An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation. The
formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of
the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
instances. The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
registration purposes.
BEGIN

6. 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 [10]. Conformant XML processors
recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [11]. 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
RECOMMENDED in environments where parser encoding support
incompatibility exists.
As an extension of the EPP domain mapping [2], the elements, element
content, attributes, and attribute values 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.
Hollenbeck Standards Track [Page 19]
RFC 3915 EPP Grace Period Mapping September 2004
7. IANA Considerations
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to a registry mechanism described in RFC 3688 [8]. Two
URI assignments were requested and have been registered by the IANA.
Registration request for the registry grace period namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rgp-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the registry grace period XML schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:rgp-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
8. Security Considerations
The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
security services beyond those described by EPP [1], the EPP domain
name mapping [2], and protocol layers used by EPP. The security
considerations described in these other specifications apply to this
specification as well.
As with other domain object updates, redemption of a deleted domain
object MUST be restricted to the sponsoring client as authenticated
using the mechanisms described in sections 2.9.1.1 and 7 of RFC 3730
[1]. Any attempt to recover a deleted domain object by any client
other than the sponsoring client MUST be rejected with an appropriate
EPP authorization error.
