Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) includes commands for
   clients to delete domain and host objects, both of which are used to
   publish information in the Domain Name System (DNS).  EPP also
   includes guidance for deletions that is intended to avoid DNS
   resolution disruptions and maintain data consistency.  However,
   operational relationships between objects can make that guidance
   difficult to implement.  Some EPP clients have developed operational
   practices to delete those objects that have unintended impacts on DNS
   resolution and security.  This document describes best current
   practices and proposes new potential practices to delete domain and
   host objects that reduce the risk of DNS resolution failure and
   maintain client-server data consistency.
