1. Introduction
This document describes a personal and organizational identifier
mapping for version 1.0 of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP).
This mapping is specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0 as described in [XML] and XML Schema notation as described in
[XMLS-1] and [XMLS-2].
[EPP] provides a complete description of EPP command and response
structures. A thorough understanding of the base protocol
specification is necessary to understand the mapping described in this
document.
XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
character case presented to develop a conforming implementation.

Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
2. Object Attributes
An EPP contact object has attributes and associated values that can be
viewed and modified by the sponsoring client or the server. This
section describes each attribute type in detail. The formal syntax
for the attribute values described here can be found in the "Formal
Syntax" section of this document and in the appropriate normative
references.
2.1 Contact and Client Identifiers
All EPP contacts are identified by a server-unique identifier.
Contact identifiers are character strings with a specified minimum
length, a specified maximum length, and a specified format. Contact
identifiers use the "clIDType" client identifier syntax described in
[EPP].
2.2 Status Values
A contact object MUST always have at least one associated status
value. Status values can be set only by the client that sponsors a
contact object and by the server on which the object resides. A
client can change the status of a contact object using the EPP
<update> command. Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string of
human-readable text that describes the rationale for the status
applied to the object.
A client MUST NOT alter status values set by the server. A server MAY
alter or override status values set by a client subject to local
server policies. The status of an object MAY change as a result of
either a client-initiated transform command or an action performed by
a server operator.
Status values that can be added or removed by a client are prefixed
with "client". Corresponding status values that can be added or
removed by a server are prefixed with "server". Status values that do
not begin with either "client" or "server" are server-managed.
Status Value Descriptions:
- clientDeleteProhibited, serverDeleteProhibited
Requests to delete the object MUST be rejected.
- clientTransferProhibited, serverTransferProhibited
Requests to transfer the object MUST be rejected.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
- clientUpdateProhibited, serverUpdateProhibited
Requests to update the object (other than to remove this status) MUST
be rejected.
- linked
The contact object has at least one active association with another
object, such as a domain object. Servers SHOULD provide services to
determine existing object associations.
- ok
This is the normal status value for an object that has no pending
operations or prohibitions. This value is set and removed by the
server as other status values are added or removed.
- pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingTransfer, pendingUpdate
A transform command has been processed for the object, but the action
has not been completed by the server. Server operators can delay
action completion for a variety of reasons, such as to allow for human
review or third-party action. A transform command that is processed,
but whose requested action is pending, is noted with response code
1001.
With one exception, transform commands MUST be rejected when a
pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingTransfer, or pendingUpdate status
is set. The only exception is that a <transfer> command to approve,
reject, or cancel a transfer MAY be processed while an object is in
"pendingTransfer" status.
When the requested action has been completed, the pendingCreate,
pendingDelete, pendingTransfer, or pendingUpdate status value MUST be
removed. All clients involved in the transaction MUST be notified
using a service message that the action has been completed and that
the status of the object has changed.
"ok" status MAY only be combined with "linked" status.
"linked" status MAY be combined with any status.
"pendingDelete" status MUST NOT be combined with either
"clientDeleteProhibited" or "serverDeleteProhibited" status.
"pendingTransfer" status MUST NOT be combined with either
"clientTransferProhibited" or "serverTransferProhibited" status.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
"pendingUpdate" status MUST NOT be combined with either
"clientUpdateProhibited" or "serverUpdateProhibited" status.
The pendingCreate, pendingDelete, pendingTransfer, and pendingUpdate
status values MUST NOT be combined with each other.
Other status combinations not expressly prohibited MAY be used.
2.3 Individual and Organizational Names
Individual and organizational names associated with a contact are
represented using character strings. These strings have a specified
minimum length and a specified maximum length. Individual and
organizational names MAY be provided in both UTF-8 [RFC2279] and a
subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in 7-bit ASCII depending on
local needs.
2.4 Address
Every contact has associated postal address information. A postal
address contains OPTIONAL street information, city information,
OPTIONAL state/province information, an OPTIONAL postal code, and a
country identifier. Address information MAY be provided in both UTF-8
and a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in 7-bit ASCII depending
on local needs.
2.4.1 Street, City, and State or Province
Contact street, city, and state or province information is represented
using character strings. These strings have a specified minimum
length and a specified maximum length.
2.4.2 Postal Code
Contact postal codes are represented using character strings. These
strings have a specified minimum length and a specified maximum
length.
2.4.3 Country
Contact country identifiers are represented using two-character
identifiers specified in [ISO3166].
2.5 Telephone Numbers
Contact telephone number structure is derived from structures defined
in [E164a]. Telephone numbers described in this mapping are character
strings that MUST begin with a plus sign ("+", ASCII value 0x002B),
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
followed by a country code defined in [E164b], followed by a dot (".",
ASCII value 0x002E), followed by a sequence of digits representing the
telephone number. An optional "x" attribute is provided to note
telephone extension information.
2.6 Email Addresses
Email address syntax is defined in [RFC2822]. This mapping does not
prescribe minimum or maximum lengths for character strings used to
represent email addresses.
2.7 Dates and Times
Date and time attribute values MUST be represented in Universal
Coordinated Time (UTC) using the Gregorian calendar. The extended
date-time form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in
[RFC3339] MUST be used to represent date-time values as XML Schema
does not support truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z"
characters.
2.8 Authorization Information
Authorization information is associated with contact objects to
facilitate transfer operations. Authorization information is assigned
when a contact object is created, and it might be updated in the
future. This specification describes password-based authorization
information, though other mechanisms are possible.

3. EPP Command mapping
A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found in
[EPP]. The command mappings described here are specifically for use
in provisioning and managing contact objects via EPP.
3.1 EPP Query Commands
EPP provides three commands to retrieve contact information: <check>
to determine if a contact object can be provisioned within a
repository, <info> to retrieve detailed information associated with a
contact object, and <transfer> to retrieve contact object transfer
status information.
3.1.1 EPP <check> Command
The EPP <check> command is used to determine if an object can be
provisioned within a repository. It provides a hint that allows a
client to anticipate the success or failure of provisioning an object
using the <create> command as object provisioning requirements are
ultimately a matter of server policy.
In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the <check> command
MUST contain a <contact:check> element that identifies the contact
namespace and the location of the contact schema. The <contact:check>
element contains the following child elements:
- One or more <contact:id> elements that contain the server-unique
identifier of the contact objects to be queried.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
Example <check> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0
C: epp-1.0.xsd">
C: <command>
C: <check>
C: <contact:check
C: xmlns:contact="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0"
C: xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0

C: <contact:id>8013sah</contact:id>
C: </contact:check>
C: </check>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <check> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <contact:chkData> element that
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:chkData> element contains one or more
<contact:cd> elements that contain the following child elements:
- A <contact:id> element that identifies the queried object. This
element MUST contain an "avail" attribute whose value indicates object
availability (can it be provisioned or not) at the moment the <check>
command was completed. A value of "1" or "true" means that the object
can be provisioned. A value of "0" or "false" means that the object
can not be provisioned.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:reason> element that MAY be provided when an
object can not be provisioned. If present, this element contains
server-specific text to help explain why the object can not be
provisioned. This text MUST be represented in the response language
previously negotiated with the client; an OPTIONAL "lang" attribute
MAY be present to identify the language if the negotiated value is
something other than the default value of "en" (English).

S:</epp>
An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <check> command can not be
processed for any reason.
3.1.2 EPP <info> Command
The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve information associated with
a contact object. In addition to the standard EPP command elements,
the <info> command MUST contain a <contact:info> element that
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:info> element contains the following child
elements:
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 10]

C: </command>
C:</epp>
When an <info> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <contact:infData> element that
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:infData> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
the contact object.
- A <contact:roid> element that contains the Repository Object
IDentifier assigned to the contact object when the object was created.
- One or more <contact:status> elements that describe the status of
the contact object.
- One or two <contact:postalInfo> elements that contain postal address
information. Two elements are provided so that address information
can be provided in both internationalized and localized forms; a
"type" attribute is used to identify the two forms. If an
internationalized form (type="int") is provided, element content MUST
be represented in a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in the 7-
bit US-ASCII character set. If a localized form (type="loc") is
provided, element content MAY be represented in unrestricted UTF-8.
The <contact:postalInfo> element contains the following child
elements:
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
- A <contact:name> element that contains the name of the individual
or role represented by the contact.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:org> element that contains the name of the
organization with which the contact is affiliated.

An EPP error response MUST be returned if an <info> command can not be
processed for any reason.
3.1.3 EPP <transfer> Query Command
The EPP <transfer> command provides a query operation that allows a
client to determine real-time status of pending and completed transfer
requests. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
<transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute with value "query",
and a <contact:transfer> element that identifies the contact namespace
and the location of the contact schema. The <contact:transfer>
element MUST contain the following child elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
the contact object to be queried.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:authInfo> element that contains authorization
information associated with the contact object. If this element is
not provided or if the authorization information is invalid, server
policy determines if the command is rejected or if response
information will be returned to the client.

When a <transfer> query command has been processed successfully, the
EPP <resData> element MUST contain a child <contact:trnData> element
that identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:trnData> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier
for the queried contact.
- A <contact:trStatus> element that contains the state of the most
recent transfer request.
- A <contact:reID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that requested the object transfer.
- A <contact:reDate> element that contains the date and time that the
transfer was requested.
- A <contact:acID> element that contains the identifier of the client
that SHOULD act upon the transfer request.
- A <contact:acDate> element that contains the date and time of a
required or completed response. For a pending request, the value
identifies the date and time by which a response is required before an
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 15]

EPP provides four commands to transform contact object information:
<create> to create an instance of a contact object, <delete> to delete
an instance of a contact object, <transfer> to manage contact object
sponsorship changes, and <update> to change information associated
with a contact object. This document does not define a mapping for
the EPP <renew> command.
Transform commands are typically processed and completed in real time.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
Server operators MAY receive and process transform commands, but defer
completing the requested action if human or third-party review is
required before the requested action can be completed. In such
situations the server MUST return a 1001 response code to the client
to note that the command has been received and processed, but the
requested action is pending. The server MUST also manage the status
of the object that is the subject of the command to reflect the
initiation and completion of the requested action. Once the action
has been completed, all clients involved in the transaction MUST be
notified using a service message that the action has been completed
and that the status of the object has changed.
3.2.1 EPP <create> Command
The EPP <create> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to create a contact object. In addition to the standard EPP
command elements, the <create> command MUST contain a <contact:create>
element that identifies the contact namespace and the location of the
contact schema. The <contact:create> element contains the following
child elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the desired server-unique
identifier for the contact to be created.
- One or two <contact:postalInfo> elements that contain postal address
information. Two elements are provided so that address information
can be provided in both internationalized and localized forms; a
"type" attribute is used to identify the two forms. If an
internationalized form (type="int") is provided, element content MUST
be represented in a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in the 7-
bit US-ASCII character set. If a localized form (type="loc") is
provided, element content MAY be represented in unrestricted UTF-8.
The <contact:postalInfo> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:name> element that contains the name of the individual
or role represented by the contact.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:org> element that contains the name of the
organization with which the contact is affiliated.
- A <contact:addr> element that contains address information
associated with the contact. A <contact:addr> element contains the
following child elements:
- One, two, or three OPTIONAL <contact:street> elements that
contain the contact's street address.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
- A <contact:city> element that contains the contact's city.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:sp> element that contains the contact's
state or province.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:pc> element that contains the contact's
postal code.
- A <contact:cc> element that contains the contact's country code.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:voice> element that contains the contact's
voice telephone number.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:fax> element that contains the contact's
facsimile telephone number.
- A <contact:email> element that contains the contact's email address.
- A <contact:authInfo> element that contains authorization information
to be associated with the contact object. This mapping includes a
password-based authentication mechanism, but the schema allows new
mechanisms to be defined in new schemas.

elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier
for the created contact.

3.2.2 EPP <delete> Command
The EPP <delete> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to delete a contact object. In addition to the standard EPP
command elements, the <delete> command MUST contain a <contact:delete>
element that identifies the contact namespace and the location of the
contact schema. The <contact:delete> element MUST contain the
following child elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
the contact object to be deleted.
A contact object SHOULD NOT be deleted if it is associated with other
known objects. An associated contact SHOULD NOT be deleted until
associations with other known objects have been broken. A server
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
SHOULD notify clients of object relationships when a <delete> command
is attempted and fails due to existing object relationships.
Example <delete> command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <delete> command can not
be processed for any reason.
3.2.3 EPP <renew> Command
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
Renewal semantics do not apply to contact objects, so there is no
mapping defined for the EPP <renew> command.
3.2.4 EPP <transfer> Command
The EPP <transfer> command provides a transform operation that allows
a client to manage requests to transfer the sponsorship of a contact
object. In addition to the standard EPP command elements, the
<transfer> command MUST contain a <contact:transfer> element that
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:transfer> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
the contact object for which a transfer request is to be created,
approved, rejected, or cancelled.
- A <contact:authInfo> element that contains authorization information
associated with the contact object.
Every EPP <transfer> command MUST contain an "op" attribute that
identifies the transfer operation to be performed as defined in [EPP].
Example <transfer> request command:
C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
C: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

C: </contact:authInfo>
C: </contact:transfer>
C: </transfer>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
C: </command>
C:</epp>
When a <transfer> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <contact:trnData> element that
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:trnData> element contains the same child
elements defined for a transfer query response.
Example <transfer> response:
S:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
S:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"

An EPP error response MUST be returned if a <transfer> command can not
be processed for any reason.
3.2.5 EPP <update> Command
The EPP <update> command provides a transform operation that allows a
client to modify the attributes of a contact object. In addition to
the standard EPP command elements, the <update> command MUST contain a
<contact:update> element that identifies the contact namespace and the
location of the contact schema. The <contact:update> element contains
the following child elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
the contact object to be updated.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:add> element that contains attribute values to
be added to the object.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:rem> element that contains attribute values to
be removed from the object.
- An OPTIONAL <contact:chg> element that contains object attribute
values to be changed.
At least one <contact:add>, <contact:rem>, or <contact:chg> element
MUST be provided. The <contact:add> and <contact:rem> elements
contain the following child elements:
- One or more <contact:status> elements that contain status values to
be associated with or removed from the object. When specifying a
value to be removed, only the attribute value is significant; element
text is not required to match a value for removal.
A <contact:chg> element contains the following OPTIONAL child
elements. At least one child element MUST be present:
- One or two <contact:postalInfo> elements that contain postal address
information. Two elements are provided so that address information
can be provided in both internationalized and localized forms; a
"type" attribute is used to identify the two forms. If an
internationalized form (type="int") is provided, element content MUST
be represented in a subset of UTF-8 that can be represented in the 7-
bit US-ASCII character set. If a localized form (type="loc") is
provided, element content MAY be represented in unrestricted UTF-8.
The <contact:postalInfo> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:name> element that contains the name of the individual
or role represented by the contact.
- A <contact:org> element that contains the name of the organization
with which the contact is affiliated.

3.2.6 Offline Review of Requested Actions
Commands are processed by a server in the order they are received from
a client. Though an immediate response confirming receipt and
processing of the command is produced by the server, a server operator
MAY perform an offline review of requested transform commands before
completing the requested action. In such situations the response from
the server MUST clearly note that the transform command has been
received and processed, but the requested action is pending. The
status of the corresponding object MUST clearly reflect processing of
the pending action. The server MUST notify the client when offline
processing of the action has been completed.
Examples describing a <create> command that requires offline review
are included here. Note the result code and message returned in
response to the <create> command.

The status of the contact object after returning this response MUST
include "pendingCreate". The server operator reviews the request
offline, and informs the client of the outcome of the review by
queuing a service message for retrieval via the <poll> command.
The service message MUST contain text in the <response>, <msgQ>, <msg>
element that describes the notification. In addition, the EPP
<resData> element MUST contain a child <contact:panData> element that
identifies the contact namespace and the location of the contact
schema. The <contact:panData> element contains the following child
elements:
- A <contact:id> element that contains the server-unique identifier of
the contact object. The <contact:id> element contains a REQUIRED
"paResult" attribute. A positive boolean value indicates that the
request has been approved and completed. A negative boolean value
indicates that the request has been denied and the requested action
has not been taken.
- A <contact:paTRID> element that contains the client transaction
identifier and server transaction identifier returned with the
original response to process the command. The client transaction

identifier is OPTIONAL and will only be returned if the client
provided an identifier with the original <create> command.
- A <contact:paDate> element that contains the date and time
describing when review of the requested action was completed.

An EPP object mapping is specified in XML Schema notation. The formal
syntax presented here is a complete schema representation of the
object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML instances.
The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they are used to
note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI registration
purposes.

5. Internationalization Considerations
EPP is represented in XML, which provides native support for encoding
information using the Unicode character set and its more compact
representations including UTF-8. Conformant XML processors recognize
both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [RFC2781]. Though XML includes provisions to
identify and use other character encodings through use of an
"encoding" attribute in an <?xml?> declaration, use of UTF-8 is
RECOMMENDED in environments where parser encoding support
incompatibility exists.
All date-time values presented via EPP MUST be expressed in Universal
Coordinated Time using the Gregorian calendar. XML Schema allows use
of time zone identifiers to indicate offsets from the zero meridian,
but this option MUST NOT be used with EPP. The extended date-time
form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in [RFC3339] MUST
be used to represent date-time values as XML Schema does not support
truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z" characters.
Humans, organizations, and other entities often need to represent
social information in both a commonly understood character set and a
locally optimized character set. This specification provides features
allowing representation of social information in both a subset of
UTF-8 for broad readability and unrestricted UTF-8 for local
optimization.
6. IANA Considerations
This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
conforming to a registry mechanism described in [IETF-XML]. Two URI
assignments are requested.
Registration request for the contact namespace:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:contact-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
Registration request for the contact XML schema:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:contact-1.0
Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
document.
Hollenbeck Expires July 29, 2003 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft EPP Contact mapping January 29, 2003
XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.
7. Security Considerations
Authorization information as described in section 2.8 is REQUIRED to
create a contact object. This information is used in some query and
transfer operations as an additional means of determining client
authorization to perform the command. Failure to protect
authorization information from inadvertent disclosure can result in
unauthorized transfer operations and unauthorized information release.
Both client and server MUST ensure that authorization information is
stored and exchanged with high-grade encryption mechanisms to provide
privacy services.
The object mapping described in this document does not provide any
other security services or introduce any additional considerations
beyond those described by [EPP] and protocol layers used by EPP.

A. Revisions From Previous Version
(Note to RFC editor: please remove this section completely before
publication as an RFC.)
-05 to -06 (IESG review):
Changed domain name examples throughout to use conventions described
in RFC 2606 (BCP 32).
Removed "This document is being discussed" paragraph from section 1.
Added a new sentence to the second paragraph of section 2.2 and
clarified how "ok" status is set.
Made transfer authInfo optional in sections 3.1.3 and 4 to allow
queries in a manner consistent with domain object commands.
Fixed schema in section 4 to note that the maximum number of status
values that can be set or updated at once is 7.
Fixed <email> element type in section 4.
Slight rewording of the last sentence of the first paragraph in
section 5.
Rewording to change use of "authorization token" in section 7.
