Domain and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Provisioning', set abstract to 'This document defines the eap.arpa. domain for use only in Network Access Identifiers (NAIs) as a way for Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) peers to signal to EAP servers that they wish to obtain limited, and unauthenticated, network access. EAP peers signal which kind of access is required via certain predefined identifiers that use the NAI format of RFC 7542. A table of identifiers and meanings is defined, which includes entries for RFC 9140.

This document also updates RFC 9140 to deprecate "eap-noob.arpa" and replace it with "@noob.eap.arpa".', set pages to 21, set standardization level to Proposed Standard, added RFC published event at 2026-05-19, created updates relation between RFC 9965 and RFC 5216, created updates relation between RFC 9965 and RFC 9140, created updates relation between RFC 9965 and RFC 9190)
