Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP            March 2013


1.  Introduction

   This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
   Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730].  This EPP mapping
   specifies a flexible schema that can be used to implement several
   common use cases related to the provisioning and management of launch
   phase extension in a domain name registry.

   It is typical for domain registries to operate in special modes
   within certain periods of time to facilitate allocation of domain
   names.  This document uses the term "launch phase" and the shorter
   form "launch" to refer to such a period.

   The EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] is designed for the steady
   state operation of a registry.  During the launch, the interface used
   at each phase of the launch could be different from what is defined
   in EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731]. for example, registries
   typically accept multiple applications for a given domain name during
   the "sunrise" launch phase, referred to as a launch application.  A
   launch registration is used to refer to a registration made during a
   launch phase when the server uses a first-come-first-serve model.
   Even in a first-come-first-serve model additional steps and
   information might be required to support a launch phase, like the
   passing of trademark information on a create.  In addition, the
   Proposed Trademark Claims Model [1] defines a registry interface for
   the Trademark Claims or "claims" launch phase that includes support
   for presenting a Trademark Claims Notice to the Registrant.  This
   document proposes an extension to the domain name extension in order
   to unambiguously manage the various launch phases known.

1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

   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].

   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.

   "launch-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0".  The XML namespace prefix
   "launch" 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.

   "signedMark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for

   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0" that is defined in
   [draft-lozano-smd].  The XML namespace prefix "smd" 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.

   "mark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0" that is defined in
   [draft-lozano-smd].  The XML namespace prefix "mark" 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.


2.  Object Attributes

   This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
   mapping [RFC5731].  Only those new elements are described here.

2.1.  Application Identifiers

   Servers MAY allow multiple applications, referred to as a launch
   application, of a given domain name during its launch phase
   operations.  Upon receiving a request to create a domain name, the
   server creates an application object corresponding to the request and
   assigns an application identifier for the application and returns it
   to the client with the <launch:applicationID> element.  In order to
   facilitate correlation, all subsequent launch operations on the
   application object MUST be qualified by the previously assigned
   application identifier using the <launch:applicationID> element.

2.2.  Launch Phases

   The server MAY support multiple launch phases sequentially or
   simultaneously.  The <launch:phase> element MUST be included by the
   client to define the target launch phase of the command.

   The following launch phase values are defined:
   sunrise  Phase when trademark holders can submit registrations or
      applications with trademark information that can be validated by
      the server.
   landrush  Post sunrise phase when non-trademark holders are allowed
      to register domain names with steps taken to address a large
      volume of initial registrations.

Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP            March 2013


   claims1  Trademark claims phase 1 as defined by Trademark
      Clearinghouse model of displaying a full, detailed claims notice
      to clients for domain names that match trademarks.
   claims2  Trademark claims phase 2 as defined by Trademark
      Clearinghouse model of displaying a short, educational claims
      notice to clients for domain names that match trademarks that opt
      into the service.
   open  Post launch phase that is also referred to as "steady state".
      Servers MAY require additional trademark protection with this
      phase.
   custom  A custom server launch phase that is defined using the "name"
      attribute.

   For extensibility the <launch:phase> element includes an OPTIONAL
   "name" attribute that can define a sub-phase or the full name of the
   phase when the <launch:phase> element has the "custom" value.  For
   example, the "claims1" launch phase could have two sub-phases that
   include "landrush" and "open".

2.3.  Status Values

   A launch application object MAY have a status value.  The <launch:
   status> element is used to convey extended status pertaining to the
   application object, beyond what is specified in the object mapping
   for this application object.

   The following status values are defined using the required "s"
   attribute:
   pending:  The initial state of a newly-created application object.
   validated:  The application meets relevant registry rules.
   invalid:  The application does not validate according to registry
      rules.
   pendingAuction:  The application is pending based on results of an
      auction.
   allocated:  One of two possible end states of an application object;
      the object corresponding to the application has been provisioned.
   rejected:  The other possible end state; the object was not
      provisioned.
   custom:  A custom status that is defined using the "name" attribute.

   Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string of human-readable
   text that describes the rationale for the status applied to the
   object.  The OPTIONAL "lang" attribute MAY be present to identify the
   language if the negotiated value is something other than the default
   value of "en" (English).

   For extensibility the <launch:status> element includes an OPTIONAL
   "name" attribute that can define a sub-status or the full name of the

   status when the status value is "custom".  The server SHOULD NOT use
   the "custom" status value.

   Certain status values MAY be combined.  For example, an application
   can be invalid and rejected.  Additionally certain statuses MAY be
   skipped.  For example, an application MAY immediately start at the
   allocated status or an application MAY skip the pendingAuction status
   if the server does not support an auction.  If a <domain:create>
   processes a request synchronously without the use of an intermediate
   application, than an Application Identifier (Section 2.1) is not
   needed along with the application status.

2.4.  Mark Validation Models

   A server MUST support at least one of the following models for
   validating the trademark information:

   code  Use of a mark code by itself to validate that the mark matches
      the domain name.  This model is supported using the <launch:
      codeMark> element with just the <launch:code> element.
   mark  The mark information is passed without any other validation
      element.  The server will use some custom form of validation to
      validate that the mark information is authentic.  This model is
      supported using the <launch:codeMark> element with just the <mark:
      mark> (Section 2.5) element.
   code with mark:  A code is used along with the mark information by
      the server to validate the mark utilizing an external party.  The
      code represents some form of secret that matches the mark
      information passed.  This model is supported using the <launch:
      codeMark> element that contains both the <launch:code> and the
      <mark:mark> (Section 2.5) elements.
   signed mark:  The mark information is digitally signed as described
      in the Digital Signature (Section 2.6) section.  The digital
      signature can be directly validated by the server using the public
      key of the external party that created the signed mark using it's
      private key.  This model is supported using the <smd:signedMark>
      (Section 2.6.1) and <smd:encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.2)
      elements.

   More than one <launch:codeMark>, <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.1), or
   <smd:encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.2) element MAY be specified.
   The maximum number of marks per domain name is up to server policy.

2.4.1.  <launch:codeMark> element

   The <launch:codeMark> element that is used by the "code", "mark", and
   "code with mark" validation models, has the following child elements:

   <launch:code>:  OPTIONAL mark code used to validate the <mark:mark>
      (Section 2.5) information.  The mark code can be a mark specific
      secret value that the server can verify against a third party.
   <mark:mark>:  OPTIONAL mark information with child elements defined
      in the Mark (Section 2.5) section.

   The following is an example <launch:codeMark> element with both a
   <launch:code> and <mark:mark> (Section 2.5) element.

   <launch:codeMark>
     <launch:code>49FD46E6C4B45C55D4AC</launch:code>
     <mark:mark xmlns:mark="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0">
       ...
     </mark:mark>
   </launch:codeMark>

2.5.  Mark

   A <mark:mark> element describes an applicant's prior right to a given
   domain name that is used with the "mark", "mark with code", and the
   "signed mark" validation models.  The <mark:mark> element is defined
   in [draft-lozano-smd].  A new mark format can be supported by
   creating a new XML schema for the mark that has an element that
   substitutes for the <mark:abstractMark> element from
   [draft-lozano-smd].

2.6.  Digital Signature

   Digital signatures MAY be used by the server to validate either the
   mark information, when using the "signed mark" validation model with
   the <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.1) element or the <smd:
   encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.2) element.

2.6.1.  <smd:signedMark> element

   The <smd:signedMark> element contains the digitally signed mark
   information.  The <smd:signedMark> element is defined in
   [draft-lozano-smd].  A new signed mark format can be supported by
   creating a new XML schema for the signed mark that has an element
   that substitutes for the <smd:abstractSignedMark> element from
   [draft-lozano-smd].

2.6.2.  <smd:encodedSignedMark> element

   The <smd:encodedSignedMark> element contains an encoded form of the
   digitally signed <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.1) element.  The <smd:
   encodedSignedMark> element is defined in [draft-lozano-smd].  A new
   encoded signed mark format can be supported by creating a new XML
   schema for the encoded signed mark that has an element that
   substitutes for the <smd:encodedSignedMark> element from
   [draft-lozano-smd].

3.  EPP Command Mapping

   A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
   in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730].  The command
   mappings described here are specifically for use in the Launch Phase
   Extension.

   This mapping is designed to be flexible, requiring only a minimum set
   of required elements.

   While it is meant to serve several use cases, it does not prescribe
   any interpretation by the client or server.  Such processing is
   typically highly policy-dependent and therefore specific to
   implementations.

   Operations on application objects are done via one or more of the
   existing EPP verbs defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731].
   Registries may choose to support a subset of the operations.

3.1.  EPP <check> Command

   This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <check>
   command and response to be used in conjunction with the EPP domain
   name mapping [RFC5731].

   This extension defines a new command called the Claims Check Command
   that is used to determine whether or not there are any matching
   trademarks, in the specified launch phase, for each domain name
   passed in the command.  The availability check information defined in
   the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] MUST NOT be returned for the
   Claims Check Command.  Instead of returning whether the domain name
   is available the Claims Check Command will return whether or not at
   least one matching trademark exists for the domain name.  If there is
   at least one matching trademark that exists for the domain name a
   <launch:claimKey> element is returned.  The value of the <launch:
   claimKey> element can be used with an info service of a third party
   trademark provider like the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for
   getting the information needed to generate the trademark claims
   notice.  The third party trademark provider should also return a
   unique notice identifier that can be passed in the <launch:noticeID>
   element of the extension to the Create Command (Section 3.3).  The
   <domain:name> elements in the EPP <check> command of EPP domain name
   mapping [RFC5731] define the domain names to check for matching

   <launch:phase>  The phase with the value of "claims1" or "claims2" to
       indicate it as a Claims Check Command.  The "claims1" Claims
       Check Command will match the <domain:name> against the full list
       of trademark labels and the "claims2" Claims Check Command will
       match the <domain:name> against the list of trademark labels that
       opted into the "claims2" launch phase.

   Example Claims Check Command using the <check> domain command and the
   <launch:check> extension to determine if "example1.tld" and
   "example2.tld" have any matching trademarks during the "claims1"
   launch phase.

   OPTIONAL "includeMark" boolean attribute, with a default value of
   "false", to indicate whether or not to include the mark in the
   response.  The <launch:info> element contains the following child

3.3.  EPP <create> Command

   There are two forms of the extension to the EPP <create> command that
   are dependent on the supported launch phases (Section 2.2) as defined
   below:

   sunrise  The EPP <create> command with the "sunrise" launch phase is
      used to submit a registration with trademark information that can
      be verified by the server with the <domain:name> value.  The
      Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1) is used for the "sunrise"
      launch phase.  Optionally, the server can support multiple
      overlapping applications that are chosen asynchronously with a
      server generated Application Identifier (Section 2.1) for later
      reference.
   landrush  The EPP <create> command with the "landrush" launch phase
      is undefined but the form supported is up to server policy.
   claims1  The EPP <create> command with the "claims1" launch phase is
      used to pass the information associated with the presentation and
      acceptance of the "claims1" claims notice.  The Claims Create Form
      (Section 3.3.2) is used for the "claims1" launch phase.
   claims2  The EPP <create> command with the "claims2" launch phase is
      used to pass the information associated with the presentation of
      the "claims1" claims notice.  The Claims Create Form
      (Section 3.3.2) is used for the "claims2" launch phase.
   open  The EPP <create> command with the "open" launch phase is
      undefined but the form supported is up to server policy.
   custom  The EPP <create> command with the "custom" launch phase is
      undefined but the form supported is up to server policy.

3.3.1.  Sunrise Create Form

   The Sunrise Create Form of the extension to the EPP domain name
   mapping [RFC5731] includes the verifiable trademark information that
   the server uses to match against the domain name to authorize the
   domain create.  A server MUST support one of four models in Claim
   Validation Models (Section 2.4) to verify the trademark information
   passed by the client.

   A <launch:create> element is sent along with the regular <create>
   domain command.  The <launch:create> element contains the following
   child elements:

   <launch:phase>  The launch phase for the create like the "sunrise"
       launch phase.

   of the claims notice for the "claims2" launch phase.

   A <launch:create> element is sent along with the regular <create>
   domain command.  The <launch:create> element contains the following
   child elements:

   <launch:phase>  MUST contain the value of "claims1" or "claim2" to
       indicate the claims launch phase.

Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP            March 2013


   This extension does not define any extension to the response of a
   <create> domain command for the Claims Create Form.  After processing
   the command, the server replies with a standard EPP response as
   defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731].

3.4.  EPP <update> Command

   This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <update>
   command to be used in conjunction with the domain name mapping.

   A server that does not support multiple applications of a given
   domain name with an Application Identifier (Section 2.1) during its
   launch phase operations MUST return an EPP error result code of 2102.

   Registry policies permitting, clients may update an application
   object by submitting an EPP <update> command along with a <launch:
   update> element to indicate the application object to be updated.
   The <launch:update> element contains the following child elements:

   <launch:phase>  The phase during which the application was submitted
       or is associated with.
   <launch:applicationID>  The application identifier for which the
       client wishes to update.

   This extension does not define any extension to the response of an
   <update> domain command.  After processing the command, the server
   replies with a standard EPP response as defined in the EPP domain
   name mapping [RFC5731].

6.  Change History

6.1.  Change from 00 to 01

   1.  Changed to use camel case for the XML elements.
   2.  Replaced "cancelled" status to "rejected" status.
   3.  Added the child elements of the <claim> element.
   4.  Removed the XML schema and replaced with "[TBD]".

6.2.  Change from 01 to 02

   1.  Added support for both the ICANN and ARI/Neustar TMCH models.
   2.  Changed the namespace URI and prefix to use "launch" instead of
       "launchphase".

Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP            March 2013


6.3.  Change from 02 to 03

   1.  Removed XSI namespace per Keith Gaughan's suggestion on the
       provreg list.
   2.  Added extensibility to the launch:status element and added the
       pendingAuction status per Trung Tran's feedback on the provreg
       list.
   3.  Added support for the Claims Check Command, updated the location
       and contents of the signedNotice, and replaced most references of
       Claim to Mark based on the work being done on the ARI/Neustar
       launch model.

6.4.  Change from 03 to 04

   1.  Removed references to the ICANN model.
   2.  Removed support for the Claims Info Command.
   3.  Removed use of the signedClaim.
   4.  Revised the method for referring to the signedClaim from the XML
       Signature using the IDREF URI.
   5.  Split the launch-1.0.xsd into three XML schemas including launch-
       1.0.xsd, signeMark-1.0.xsd, and mark-1.0.xsd.
   6.  Split the "claims" launch phase to the "claims1" and "claims2"
       launch phases.
   7.  Added support for the encodedSignedMark with base64 encoded
       signedMark.
   8.  Changed the elements in the createNoticeType to include the
       noticeID, timestamp, and the source elements.
   9.  Added the class and effectiveDate elements to mark.

6.5.  Change from 04 to 05

   1.  Removed reference to <smd:zone> in the <smd:signedMark> example.
   2.  Incorporated feedback from Bernhard Reutner-Fischer on the
       provreg mail list.
   3.  Added missing launch XML prefix to applicationIDType reference in
       the idContainerType of the Launch Schema.
   4.  Added missing description of the <mark:pc> element in the <mark:
       addr> element.
   5.  Updated note on replication of the EPP contact mapping elements
       in the Mark Contact section.

6.6.  Change from 05 to 06

   1.  Removed the definition of the mark-1.0 and signedMark-1.0 and
       replaced with reference to draft-lozano-smd, that contains the
       definition for the mark, signed marked, and encoded signed mark.

   2.  Split the <launch:timestamp> into <launch:generatedDate> and
       <launch:acceptedDate> based on feedback from Trung Tran.
   3.  Added the "includeMark" optional attribute to the <launch:info>
       element to enable the client to request whether or not to include
       the mark in the info response.
   4.  Fixed state diagram to remove redundant transition from "invalid"
       to "rejected"; thanks Klaus Malorny.


7.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].  Three URI
   assignments have been registered by the IANA.

   Registration request for the Launch namespace:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0
      Registrant Contact: See the "Author's Address" section of this
      document.
      XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.


8.  Security Considerations

   The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
   security services beyond those described by EPP [RFC5730], the EPP
   domain name mapping [RFC5731], and protocol layers used by EPP.  The
   security considerations described in these other specifications apply
   to this specification as well.

   Updates to, and deletion of an application object must be restricted
   to clients authorized to perform the said operation on the object.

   As information contained within an application, or even the mere fact
   that an application exists may be confidential.  Any attempt to
   operate on an application object by an unauthorized client MUST be
   rejected with an EPP 2303 (object does not exist) or an appropriate
   auhorization error.  Server policy may allow <info> operation with
   filtered output by clients other than the sponsoring client, in which
   case the <domain:infData> and <launch:infData> response SHOULD be
   filtered to include only fields that are publicly accessible.
