                   Registry Data Escrow Specification
              draft-arias-noguchi-registry-data-escrow-09

Abstract

   This document specifies the format and contents of data escrow
   deposits targeted primarily for domain name registries.  However, the
   specification was designed to be independent of the underlying
   objects that are being escrowed, therefore it could be used for
   purposes other than domain name registries.

1.  Introduction

   Registry Data Escrow is the process by which an Registry periodically
   submits data deposits to a third party called an Escrow Agent.  These
   deposits comprise the minimum data needed by a third party to resume
   operations if the registry can not function and is unable or
   unwilling to facilitate an orderly transfer of service.  For example,
   for a domain name registry or registrar the data to be deposited
   would include all the objects related to registered domain names,
