Hi,

During the IANA expert review of draft-ietf-regext-allocation-token a request 
was made to scope the XML namespaces to include “epp”.   The request was to 
change urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:allocationToken-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:allocationToken-1.0.  It was agreed to progress 
draft-ietf-regext-allocation-token with the existing XML namespace, but with 
the expectation that future REGEXT EPP drafts will scope the XML namespace with 
“epp”.  This means considering the following REGEXT working group EPP XML 
namespace and schema changes.  I believe that all new EPP drafts must follow 
the new “epp”-scoped XML namespace pattern, and the existing REGEXT EPP drafts 
should follow the “epp”-scoped XML namespace pattern unless there is an 
undesired impact.  The new pattern is urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:extension-1.0 
for the XML namespace and urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:extension-1.0 for the 
XML schema.



1.     draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-1.0 to urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:fee-1.0

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:fee-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:fee-1.0

c.       I don’t believe changing the XML namespace will have a big impact for 
draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees, so my recommendation is to change it in 
draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-12.

2.     draft-ietf-regext-change-poll

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:changePoll-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:changePoll -1.0

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:changePoll-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:changePoll -1.0

                                                                      i.       
Currently the schema registration is incorrectly set to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:changePoll-1.0.  I will take care of this.

c.       I believe this will have a negative impact to existing 
implementations, since urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:changePoll-1.0 is a mature XML 
namespace and its associated with poll messages.  Changing the poll message XML 
namespace will get into the unhandled XML namespace issue.  My recommendation 
is to keep the existing namespace based on the maturity of the namespace, 
unless there is a known conflict.

3.     draft-ietf-regext-org

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:org-1.0 to urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:org-1.0

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:org-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:org-1.0

                                                                      i.       
Currently the schema registration is incorrectly set to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:org-1.0

c.       I don’t believe change the XML namespace will have a big impact for 
draft-ietf-regext-org, so my recommendation is to change it in 
draft-ietf-regext-org-09.

4.     draft-ietf-regext-org-ext

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:orgext-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:orgext-1.0

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:orgext-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:orgext-1.0

                                                                      i.       
Currently the schema registration is missing, so it needs to be added.

c.       I don’t believe change the XML namespace will have a big impact for 
draft-ietf-regext-org-ext, so my recommendation is to change it in 
draft-ietf-regext-org-ext-08.

5.     draft-ietf-regext-bundling-registration

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:b-dn-1.0 to urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:b-dn-1.0

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:b-dn-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:b-dn-1.0

c.       I don’t know the impacts of changing the XML namespace for 
draft-ietf-regext-bundling-registration.

6.     draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:verificationCode-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:verificationCode-1.0

                                                                      i.       
The draft is missing the “urn:” URI prefix in the registration request.  I will 
take care of this.

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:verificationCode-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:verificationCode-1.0

                                                                      i.       
The draft is missing the “urn:” URI prefix and needs to replace “:ns:” with 
“:schema:”.  I will take care of this.

c.       Based on Production systems in place leveraging this XML namespace, my 
recommendation is to keep the existing namespace unless there is a known 
conflict.

7.     draft-ietf-regext-validate

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:validate-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:validate-1.0

                                                                      i.       
The draft is missing the “urn:” URI prefix in the registration request.

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:validate-1.0 to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:validate-1.0

                                                                      i.       
The draft is missing the XML schema registration.

c.       I don’t know the impacts of changing the XML namespace for 
draft-ietf-regext-validate.

8.     draft-sattler-epp-registry-maintenance

a.       urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:maintenance-0.N to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:maintenance-0.N

                                                                      i.       
The draft is missing the XML namespace registration

b.      urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:maintenance-0.N to 
urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:epp:maintenance-0.N

c.       This draft is setup to support new XML schema namespaces, so my 
recommendation is to include the “epp”-scoped XML namespace with 
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp:maintenance-0.3.

I took the action item to bring this up with the working group, so please 
respond with your thoughts on the new requested pattern and the impacts for the 
existing drafts.

Thanks,
