      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document proposes an extension to the Registration Data Access
   Protocol (RDAP) that enables the representation and exchange of
   structured reliability assessment metadata for registrars and domain
   names.  The extension defines a structured assessment envelope
   through which an RDAP server can expose assessment results produced
   by a registry, registrar, or third-party assessor in a common,
   machine-readable format within RDAP responses.

   The extension standardizes how assessment results are transported and
   referenced, not how they are computed.  Scoring methodologies,
   thresholds, criteria, and governance frameworks are intentionally
   left to the operational and policy layer.  This document does,
   however, place requirements on the specification of any scheme whose
   results are intended for publication through RDAP, because publishing
   an evaluative judgement about an identified party without safeguards
   for notification, remediation, and contestation is not a safe
   practice.
