1.  Introduction

   Modern top-level domain registries provide a number of detailed
   reports and documents that their registrars require on a daily,
   weekly and monthly basis. These most commonly include transaction
   reports, as well as lists containing currently unavailable domains
   and current premium domain fees. These reports are critical for
   registrars' businesses and play an important role in accounting and
   operations processes as well as in sales and marketing activities.
   In the current set-up registrars must download these reports from
   each registry's intranet in a different manner according to each
   registry's own document management set up.
   
   A contact inventory comparison between the contacts that are on an
   accreditation / account and the contacts that a registrar / reseller
   has in its system is therefore useful.
   
   This document describes the content of a Contact Inventory Report
   based on the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure] and delivered
   by the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-reporting-repository].

2.  Terminology and Definitions

   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 [RFC2119] when
   specified in their uppercase forms.
   
2.1.  Dates and Times

   MUST be as defined in
   [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure].

3.  Report Headings

   The first row MUST be the column headings in the following order:
   
   CONTACTID         It MUST contain the server-unique identifier of
                     of the contact-object.
   
   UPDATED           It MUST contain the date and time of the most
                     recent contact-object modification. If the contact
                     object has never been modified, then the date and
                     time of contact-object creation has to be used.
                     Formatting in both cases according to section 2.1
                     of this document.
                     
   INUSE             It MUST either be 0 if the contact-object is not
                     linked to a domain-object or 1 if it is linked.

   ID                It MUST contain an unique ID according to section 4
                     of this document.
                     
4.  Unique ID

   A unique ID MUST either be according the IANA registrar IDs
   (https://www.iana.org/assignments/registrar-ids/registrar-ids.xhtml)
   where applicable or another unique registrar or reseller ID MUST be
   used.

5.  Example

   This is an example of a contact inventory report.
   
   Filename: contact-inventory_2019-01-01.csv.gz
   
   CONTACTID,UPDATED,INUSE,ID
   sh8013,2018-12-30T07:00:00Z,0,1
   sh8014,2018-12-30T09:00:15Z,1,1
   sh8015,2018-12-31T09:03:22Z,1,1

6.  IANA Considerations

8.  Implementation Status

   Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to
   [RFC7942] before publication.

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
   here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort
   has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
   supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not
   be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature. It
   is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".

   Add implementation details once available.
