1.  Introduction

   This document describes a Validate mapping for version 1.0 of the
   Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730].  This EPP mapping
   specifies a flexible schema by which EPP clients and servers can
   reliably validate contact and eligibility data.

   With the increased number of restrictions on contacts and required
   data points (license, ids, etc.) to register a domain name, a way to
   validate the data points prior to issuing a transform command is
   becoming more important.

1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
   and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
   character case presented in order to develop a conforming
   implementation.

   "validate" is used as an abbreviation for
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:validate-0.2".  The XML namespace prefix
   "validate" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and
   instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to
   interpret and output the XML documents.

   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not a REQUIRED feature of this protocol.

   (Note to RFC Editor: remove the following paragraph before
   publication as an RFC.)

   The XML namespace prefix above contains a version number,
   specifically "0.2".  This version number will increment with
   successive versions of this document, and will reach 1.0 if and when
   this document is published as an RFC.  This permits clients to
   distinguish which version of the extension a server has implemented.

2.  Object Attributes

   A EPP validation object has attributes and associated values that can
   be viewed by the client.  This section describes each attribute type
   in detail.

2.1.  Key Value

   Key Value provides a flexible mechanism to share data between the
   client and the server.  The <validate:kv> element defines the data,
   with two required simple attributes, key and value, and an optional
   contactType attribute for specificity in the response, more details
   below.

   o  An example <validate:kv key="VATID" value="0123456789"/>.

   o  An example <validate:kv contactType="Admin" key="contact:cc"
      value="Invalid country code for admin contact, must be MX."/>.

2.2.  Validate Id

   The <validate:id> element is used in two different scenarios.

   First if the <validate:id> is passed by itself with no other elements
   (e.g. >validate:postalInfo>) then the client intent is that this is
   an already existing contact and the server should handle the request
   by looking up the associated data in its system and using that data
   to validate against.

   Second scenario would be if the request includes additional elements
   then the server should treat the <validate:id> as a temporary contact
   handle and should not perform a look on the contact but use the data
   that is passed in the request to validate against.

2.3.  Validate PostalInfo, Voice, Fax, Email, AuthInfo

   These elements are intended to mirror the definitions in [RFC5733].

3.  EPP Command Mapping

   A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
   in [RFC5730].  The command mappings described here are specifically
   for the Validate Extension.

3.1.  EPP Query Commands

   EPP provides three commands to retrieve object information: <check>
   to determine if an object is known to the server, <info> to retrieve
   detailed information associated with an object, and <transfer> to
   retrieve object transfer status information.

3.1.1.  EPP <check> Command

   The EPP <check> command is used to validate a list of contact
   information.  The <check> command MUST contain a <validate:check>
   element that identifies the validate namespace.  The <validate:check>
   element contains the following child elements:

   o  one or more <validate:contact> element(s) for each contact that is
      to be validated that contains the contact type of the contact to
      be validated.

   The <validate:contact> element has two required attributes:
   contactType, which describes the role (registrant, admin, tech,

   billing, etc.) of the contact that the contact should be validated
   for; and tld, which provides the top level domain to be validated
   against.  The <validate:contact> element contains the following child
   elements:

   o  one <validate:id> element (as described in section 2.2).
   o  an OPTIONAL <validate:postalInfo> element (as described in section
      2.3).
   o  an OPTIONAL <validate:voice> element (as described in section
      2.3).
   o  an OPTIONAL <validate:fax> element (as described in section 2.3).
   o  an OPTIONAL <validate:email> element (as described in section
      2.3).
   o  an OPTIONAL <validate:authInfo> element (as described in section
      2.3).
   o  zero or more <validate:kv> elements (as described in section 2.1).

   The following is an example <check> command where "sh8013" and
   "sh8014" are both "new" contacts and "sh8012" is an existing contact
   on the server.

   When the server receives a <check> command with a <validate:contact>
   element that contains only a <validate:id> element the server will
   process this as an existing contact.  If the contact does not exist
   the server MUST return an EPP error response for that specific
   <validate:contact>.

   When a <check> command has been processed succesfully, the EPP
   <resData> element MUST contain a child <validate:chkData> element
   that identifies the validate namespace.  The <validate:chkData>
   element MUST contain a <validate:cd> element for each
   <validate:check> element contained in the <check> command.  The
   <validate:cd> element contains the following child elements:

   o  one <validate:id> element.
   o  one <validate:response> element.
   o  zero or more <validate:kv> elements.

3.1.2.  EPP <info> Command

   Info semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <info> command.

3.1.3.  EPP <transfer> Command

   Transfer semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <transfer> command.

3.2.  EPP Transform Commands

   EPP provides five commands to transform objects: <create> to create
   an instance of an object with a server, <delete> to remove an
   instance of an object from a server, <renew> to extend the validity
   period of an object, <transfer> to manage changes in client
   sponsorship of an object, and <update> to change information.

3.2.1.  EPP <create> Command

   Create semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <create> command.

3.2.2.  EPP <delete> Command

   Delete semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <delete> command.

3.2.3.  EPP <renew> Command

   Renew semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <renew> command.

3.2.4.  EPP <transfer> Command

   Transfer semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <transfer> command.

3.2.5.  EPP <update> Command

   Update semantics do not apply to validate objects, so there is no
   mapping defined for the EPP <update> command.

4.  Formal Syntax

   One schema is presented here that is the EPP Validate schema.

   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.  Security Considerations

   The mapping described in this document do not provide any security
   services beyond those described by EPP [RFC5730] and protocol layers
   used by EPP.  The security considerations described in these other
   specifications apply to this specification as well.

6.  IANA Considerations

6.1.  XML Namespace

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].

   Registration request for the validate namespace:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:validate-1.0

   Registrant Contact: IESG

   XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

   Registration request for the validate schema:

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:validate-1.0

   Registrant Contact: IESG

   XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

7.  Implemntation 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".

7.1.  To Be Filled In

   Add implementation details once available.

8.  Acknowledgements

   The authors wish to thank the following persons for their feedback
   and suggestions:

   o  Kevin Allendorf of GoDaddy Inc.
   o  Jody Kolker of GoDaddy Inc.
   o  James Gould of Verisign Inc

9.  Change History

9.1.  Change from 03 to 04

   Removed the <validate:cd> element from the <check> command, moving
   all sub-elements to the <validate:contact> element to simplify.  Also
   removed the <disclose> element as it was not needed in this context.
   Also updated references to current versions of documents.

9.2.  Change from 02 to 03

   Corrected some formatting issues.

9.3.  Change from 01 to 02

   Corrected some formatting issues.

9.4.  Change from 00 to 01

   After review and broad feedback, extensive changes have been made
   transforming the original document from a standalone extension
   command to using the <check> command and response framework.  Stubbed
   in an Implementation section for later documentation.

9.5.  Change from carney-regext 01 to ietf-regext 00

   Updated miscellaneous verbiage to reflect the change from an
   extension and changed to ietf naming as REGEXT WG will assume this
   work.
