draft-gould-carney-regext-registry-00.txt

Hi Roger,

I couldn't attend the last Interim Meeting so I apologise if some comments 
below could be obsolete:

1) According to section 1.1 of RFC 5731, a server cannot support the host 
object. So, even if the server implements a policy about IP addresses included 
in domain:hostAddr elements, it doesn't implement check (or any other) 
operation on hosts
Therefore, a minOccurs="0" attribute should be added to the element 
maxCheckHost of hostType.
Good point that draft-gould-carney-regext-registry may not properly support 
defining the policies for a zone that supports hostAddr instead of hostObj in 
RFC 5731.  We’ll take a closer look at how hostAddr can be supported in 
draft-gould-carney-regext-registry including the XML schema definition of 
maxCheckHost.


2) Why should supportedStatus only contain standard status ? The 
supportedStatusType definition is less strict than the description and this 
seems good to me because supportedStatusType can match custom status too.
It would be good to understand how custom statuses are supported to effectively 
define the policy for custom statuses.  Can you provide a description of how 
custom statuses are supported?  You are correct that the supportedStatusType is 
not an enumerated type, so therefore any status can be included.

In the same way the rgpStatus of RGP extension is supported. Usually, due to 
local regulations, custom statuses are applied to domains and affect the set of 
operations a client can request. I think that the Registry Mapping extension 
would be very helpful if servers could provide clients with a formal 
description of the operations clients are allowed to request on a domain 
according to their statuses, no matter the statuses are standard or custom. 
IMHO, the only reference of the extension declaring the custom statuses in the 
registry:svcExtension element would not be enough.
I hope this could clarify my previous statement.


JG – I believe custom statuses and mapping the custom statuses to the 
prohibited operations would be up to a custom server policy extension.  As 
captured in the GitHub issue 
(https://github.com/james-f-gould/EPP-Registry-Mapping/issues/3), where I 
recommend adding SHOULD normative language into the draft and to keep the XML 
schema supportedStatusType non-enumerated to support custom statuses.  The 
language for the supported statuses would read as follows:

"The OPTIONAL set of supported domain statuses that SHOULD match the statuses 
defined in [RFC5731]."
"The OPTIONAL set of supported host statuses that SHOULD match the statuses 
defined in [RFC5732]."
"The OPTIONAL set of supported contact statuses that SHOULD match the statuses 
defined in [RFC5733]."

Does this match what you’re looking for in addressing the issue?
3) The description of expiryPolicy contains the following sentence:

"autoRenew": The domain object will auto-renew at expiry.
                          The client can receive a credit for the auto-renew if 
the
                         domain object is deleted within the auto-renew grace 
period."

Does it make sense to replace "if the domain object is deleted" with "if the 
domain object is deleted or transferred" ?
Yes, adding “or transferred” to the description makes sense for the auto-renew 
grace period.

4) Considering that RFC 5730 defines a response code returned when a server 
receives an unimplemented command (i.e. 2101) , maybe it's worth to add 
information about unimplemented operations.
Good point, we can put some thought into how to define this.

5) In my opinion, the schedule format has some limits. Java EE Timer 
expressions 
(https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/ejb-basicexamples004.htm) seem to be 
more flexible especially regarding dayOfMonth values:

1 to 31. For example: dayOfMonth="15".

–7 to –1 (a negative number means the nth day or days before the end of the 
month). For example: dayOfMonth="–3".

Last. For example: dayOfMonth="Last".

[1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Last] [Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat]. For 
example: dayOfMonth="2nd Fri".

The schedule format was our first attempt, so we can consider your proposal as 
well.



6) Finally, I hope that in the future the draft will address the mapping of the 
possible extensions described in RFC 5730.
I’m unsure what you mean by “mapping of the possible extensions described in 
RFC 5730”.  Can you describe this a little more?

This answer is strictly related to the previous one of point 2. According to 
RFC5730 there could be three kinds of extensions.  By the term "extensions", I 
mean both the custom extensions (applied only to a specific registry) and  new 
standardized extensions (completing in the future the standardization process). 
Both could deeply affect the server policy.
Just to give you an example,  the Login Security extension is currently under 
the WG evaluation. If it will complete the standardization track, it will 
heavily affect clients authentication for those servers that will implement it. 
Clients should be able to catch which kind of authentication method servers 
support (i.e only the standard method, only the login security method, both). 
So I don't think that it would be enough to deal with it by simply putting it 
in the registry:svcExtension element.
As an example of a custom extensions, I know many European ccTLDs requiring 
additional properties for those contacts that will be referenced as registrants 
in domain registrations. If a client don't
provide them when creating the registrant, the domain cannot be registered.
Please, don't misunderstand me, I don't want to provide a method to increase 
the number of custom extensions. For interoperability reasons, it is always be 
better to have a standardization process for those extensions that could be 
potentially applied to all the EPP servers. Anyway, custom extensions exist and 
we should face with.

JG – Extension specific policies would be captured in Registry Mapping policy 
extensions like how draft-gould-regext-launch-policy defines zone-level 
policies associated with the Launch Phase Extension (RFC 8334).  The EPP 
extensibility mechanism can be used to define EPP extension policy extensions 
that are either at the zone-level (e.g., draft-gould-regext-launch-policy) or 
at the system-level (e.g., Login Security Policy Extension).  Registries that 
have custom zone-level or system-level policies can define them in a custom 
Registry Mapping policy extension.  I don’t want to create two extensions 
(extension and policy extension) for every EPP extension.  In the future the 
extension and the policy extension could be included in a single draft, but in 
the meantime they would be separate.  Does this address your concern related to 
the policy extensibility mechanism?

I have an extra question:
Does it make sense to specify in Registry Mapping the transport protocol 
supported by the server?

JG – Right now the Registry Mapping is co-located with the specific service on 
the chosen transport (TLS, HTTPS, and other), meaning it does not provide an 
endpoint discovery service.  There is no concept of an aggregate service 
Registry Mapping that includes all of the endpoints available; although 
something similar could be created.  I would view it as a separate goal.





Regards,
Mario

Good Morning,



We have been talking about Registry Mapping for over a year now and here is the 
official first 
draft<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gould-carney-regext-registry/>.



Please take a read and let the discussions flow! We will be having an interim 
meeting<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/agenda-interim-2018-regext-03-regext-01/>
 next Tuesday (June 5th at 16:00 UTC) and one of the two agenda items is a 
discussion of this idea/draft.





Thanks

Roger

   This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)

   mapping for provisioning registry zones (e.g. top-level domains) in a

   Domain Name Registry.  The attributes of a registry zone include the

   features and policies of the registry zone.
