                     Simple Registration Reporting
           draft-ietf-regext-simple-registration-reporting-02

Abstract

   Domain name registries and registrars report to each other by sharing
   bulk information through files.  This document creates two IANA
   registries to establish a standard reporting mechanism between domain
   name registries and registrars.  The first IANA registry lists
   standard data elements and their syntax for inclusion in the files.
   The second IANA registry lists standard reports based on the standard
   data elements.  Each report is a file formatted as a CSV file.  The
   advantage of this reporting mechanism is that report, each file, can
   be imported by recipients without any prior knowledge of their
   contents, although reporting is enhanced with a minimum of knowledge
   about the files.  The mechanism for the transmission and reception of
   the files is a matter of local policy.

1.  Introduction

   Currently, domain name registry operators (the producer) create and
   set their own domain name registration reports for use by their
   registrars (the consumer).  Among the distinctions that vary by
   producer is the syntax of the data provided, e.g., date formats, and
   the format of the collection of the data provided, e.g., the report
   may be a CSV file that tends to allow for straightforward importation
   or a PDF file that can be problematic to import.  In addition,
   although there are a number of best practice reports that have
   evolved, these are not currently documented as such, which results in
   a fair amount of customization on the part of the consumers to import
   data.

Yee & Galvin               Expires 6 May 2021                   [Page 3]
Internet-Draft              Abbreviated Title              November 2020

   This document standardizes the name and syntax of the data elements
   to be used across all existing domain name registration reports and
   creates an IANA registry of them to facilitate their evolution,
   including adding additional data elements as needed.  In addition, a
   known set of existing standard reports using the aforementioned data
   elements is specified in another IANA registry to facilitate the
   evolution of the reports and adding additional report definitions as
   needed.

   Each report definition MUST use the data elements defined here,
   including all future reports.  Future reports and future data
   elements may be specified in their own individual documents, updating
   the IANA registries as needed.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Data Element Specification

   Data elements are grouped into categories for convenience.  There is
   no other significance to the groupings.

   Each data element conceptually represents the column heading in a
   printed report.  It is a single unit of information that can be
   passed from the producer to the consumer.  The primary purposes of
   the IANA registry of data elements are to ensure that each data
   element is assigned a unique name and that the syntax of each data
   element is specified.

   The name of the data element MUST be unique and this characteristic
   MUST be enforced by the registry.  The name is used in the report
   definition (in the next section) to alert the consumer as to what to
   expect in the file and how to import the data element.

   The subsections below comprise an initial list of known data elements
   commonly being used between producers and consumers as of the date of
   publication of this document.  The title of the subsection is the
   field name for the data element.  Field names in the IANA registry
   MUST be unique and case insensitive.

3.  Report Definition Specification

   Each report specification conceptually represents a file of comma
   separated values [RFC4180] (commonly called a CSV file) where the
   values are selected from the data elements specified above.  The
   first row of the file is a comma separated list of field names as
   specified in the data element registry.  The remaining rows of the
   file are the unordered sets of data elements, one set per row, where
   each row is one transaction in the report.

   Each data element in a set conceptually represents the column heading
   in a printed report.

   A consumer MUST be able to receive data elements that are not
   recognized and MAY skip them accordingly, both in the header row and
   in the transaction rows.

   A report is specified in the report registry with two pieces of
   information.  First is the name of the report.  This can be whatever
   is appropriate as defined by the producer of the report.  The name of
   the report MUST be unique and this characteristic MUST be enforced by
   registry.

   Second is the ordered list of field names of what is included in the
   report.  The field names MUST be listed in the data element registry
   specified above.  The field names and the data MUST appear in the
   report in the order listed in the report registry.

   The subsections below comprise an initial list of standard reports
   commonly being used between producers and consumers as of the date of
   publication of this document.  The title of the subsection is the
   report name.  The report name in the IANA registry must be unique and
   case insensitive.

3.1.  Transaction Report

   [Note] There is a new column in this report that is not added to
   other reports.  It has been suggested that the report definition
   indicate if a value is required for the field or if it can be empty.
   The column was added to this report only for visualization and to
   further discussion.  This paragraph will be removed once the working
   group discusses the issue and reaches consensus on direction.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This section describes the format of the IANA Registration Report
   Registry, which has two tables described below, and the procedures
   used to populate and manage the registry entries.

4.1.  Report Specification

   This registry uses the "Specification Required" policy described in
   RFC 8126 [RFC8126].  An English language version of the extension
   specification is required in the registry, though non-English
   versions of the specification may also be provided.

   The "Specification Required" policy implies review by a "designated
   expert".  Section 5.2 of RFC 8126 [RFC8126] describes the role of
   designated experts and the function they perform.

4.1.1.  Designated Expert Evaluation Criteria

   A high-level description of the role of the designated expert is
   described in Section 5.2 of RFC 8126 [RFC8126].  Specific guidelines
   for the appointment of designated experts and the evaluation of a
   Registration Report is provided here.

   The IESG SHOULD appoint a small pool of individuals (perhaps 3 - 5)
   to serve as designated experts, as described in Section 5.2 of RFC
   8126 [RFC8126].  The pool should have a single administrative chair
   who is appointed by the IESG.  The designated experts should use the
   existing regext mailing list (regext@ietf.org) for public discussion
   of registration requests.  This implies that the mailing list should
   remain open after the work of the REGEXT working group has concluded.

   The results of the evaluation should be shared via email with the
   registrant and the regext mailing list.  Issues discovered during the
   evaluation can be corrected by the registrant, and those corrections
   can be submitted to the designated experts until the designated
   experts explicitly decide to accept or reject the registration
   request.  The designated experts must make an explicit decision and
   that decision must be shared via email with the registrant and the
   regext mailing list.  If the specification for a field or report is
   an IETF Standards Track document, no review is required by the
   designated expert.

   Designated experts should be permissive in their evaluation of
   requests for fields and reports that have been implemented and
   deployed by at least one registry.  This implies that it may indeed
   be possible to register multiple fields or reports that provide the
   same functionality.  Requests to register fields or reports that have

Yee & Galvin               Expires 6 May 2021                  [Page 14]
Internet-Draft              Abbreviated Title              November 2020

   not been deployed should be evaluated with a goal of reducing
   duplication.  A potential registrant who submits a request to
   register a new field or report that includes similar functionality to
   existing fields or reports should be made aware of the existing
   fields and reports.  The registrant should be asked to reconsider
   their request given the existence of similar fields or reports.
   Should they decline to do so, perceived similarity should not be a
   sufficient reason for rejection as long as all other requirements are
   met.

4.1.2.  Registration Procedure

   The registry contains information describing each registered field
   and report.  Registry entries are created and managed by sending
   forms to IANA that describe the field and report on the registry
   entry.

4.1.2.1.  Required Information

   The required information must be formatted consistently using the
   following registration form.  Form field names and values may appear
   on the same line.

4.1.2.1.1.  Field Definition

   The field name must be unique and evaluated in a case insensitive
   way.

           Enforced to be case-insensitive and unique

   Reference document defining the field, including section number
           SHOULD be a URL to a RFC, MAY be a URL to any document
           available under equivalent terms

      Reference

      Registrant:IESG

      TLD:any

      Status:active

4.1.2.2.  Registration Processing

   Registrants should send each registration form to IANA with a single
   record for incorporation into the registry.  Send the form via email
   to iana@iana.org or complete the online form found on the IANA web
   site.  The subject line should indicate whether the enclosed form
   represents an insertion of a new record (indicated by the word
   "INSERT" in the subject line) or a replacement of an existing record
   (indicated by the word "MODIFY" in the subject line).  At no time can
   a record be deleted from the registry.  On receipt of the
   registration request, IANA will initiate review by the designated
   expert(s) if appropriate, who will evaluate the request using the
   criteria in Section 4.1.1 in consultation with the regext mailing
   list.

4.1.2.3.  Updating Report Definition Registry Entries

   When submitting changes to existing registry entries, include text in
   the "Notes" field of the registration form describing the change.
   Under normal circumstances, registry entries are only to be updated
   by the registrant.  If the registrant becomes unavailable or
   otherwise unresponsive, the designated expert can submit a
   registration form to IANA to update the registrant information.
   Entries can change state from "Active" to "Inactive" and back again
   as long as state-change requests conform to the processing
   requirements identified in this document.  In addition to entries
   that become "Inactive" due to a lack of implementation, entries for
   which a specification becomes consistently unavailable over time
   should be marked "Inactive" by the designated expert until the
   specification again becomes reliably available.

5.  Security Considerations

   Items to be covered in a future version:

   SHOULD NOT expose secret information, e.g., authInfo

   This report does not address delivery mechanisms but due
   consideration should be given to access of reports.  Note encryption
   is something to consider for controlling access.

Internet-Draft              Abbreviated Title              November 2020

6.  Privacy Considerations

   Items to be covered in a future version:

   Note that reports may contain Personally Identifiable Information

7.  Internationalization Considerations

   The character encoding for the file contents MUST use UTF-8.

   Throughout this document A-LABEL is indicated as a SHOULD and that
   MUST be interpreted as follows.  All domain name labels MUST be in
   A-LABEL format if it is possible to represent it as an A-LABEL,
   otherwise U-LABEL MAY be used.
