This BOF is yet to appear on the formal agenda for IETF-61. FYI in advance of the agenda being made available. -Scott- ---------- BOF Chairs: Howard Eland <heland@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Patrik Fältström <paf@xxxxxxxxx> BOF Description: IDN-over-EPP As the global DNS applications and Top-Level Domain (TLD) registries begin to adopt the IDNA (Internationalized Domain Names in Applications) standards the registration of IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names) at shared registry systems becomes an important element of operational functionality for domain registries. Furthering the discussion from the PROVREG group, describing the "desire to allow a registrar to access multiple registries via the same protocol, even if the registries differ in operational models", there is interest for the same to apply to the provisioning of IDNs. Although the EPP RFCs have already provided extension guidelines, due to the foreseeable frequency of IDN provisioning and the potential complexity for registrars if different implementations are adopted by different registries, it makes sense to try to establish standardized extensions for IDN provisioning. In general, there are two main approaches to incorporating IDN provisioning elements to EPP: 1. Extensions to Domain Mapping; or 2. New IDN Object Mapping. The goal of this BOF is to see if there is enough interest from the community to create a workgroup that would be chartered to create documents on both: 1. Requirements of IDN provisioning 2. Standard Extensions for IDN-over-EPP _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
