Technical Summary
This document describes the Registry Data Escrow Specification
(draft-ietf-regext-data-escrow) that specifies the format and contents
of data escrow deposits primarily for domain name registries.
Working Group Summary
draft-ietf-regext-data-escrow is on standards track. This document
specifies a format for data escrow deposits independent of the objects
being escrowed. A specification is required for each type of
registry/set of objects that is expected to be escrowed, such as
draft-ietf-regext-dnrd-objects-mapping for Domain Name Registration
Data (DNRD).
Document Quality
This document has been widely discussed on the ire mailing list,
has been broadly implemented by members
of the domain name industry (registries and data escrow agents), and
has been adopted and discussed in the regext working group.
The author has addressed all comments and many
changes have been incorporated in the document.
The ICANN Base Registry Agreement requires registries, data escrow agents,
and ICANN to implement the document. ICANN receives daily notifications
from data from data escrow agents confirming that more than 1,200 gTLDs
are sending deposits that comply with this document. ICANN receives on a
weekly basis per gTLD, from more than 1,200 gTLD registries, a
Bulk Registration Data Access file that also complies with this document.
In addition, ICANN is aware of Registry Service Provider transitions using
data files that conform to this document.
