Internet Registration Bar BOF announcement

2010-03-04 07:07:04
During IETF 77, meeting March 21-26 in Anaheim, there will be a Bar BOF held to discuss the following work items:

1. Extensions to EPP as it exists today
2. Requirements for EPPbis
3. Requirements for the submission of DNSSEC's DS record into the
   registration system

The Bar BOF will be on the same day as Registry Data Escrow/Internet Registration Escrow BOF, Wednesday, March 24. The time will be approximately 7:30pm (after the plenary) and the location TBD.

Some context:

There is a regular BOF scheduled that applies to registration activity:
   Registry Data Escrow/Internet Registration Escrow BOF
That BOF is on "yet another topic" related to registration operations and has a clearer focus than this bar BOF. (The goal of the bar BOF is to help organize an effort to have a BOF at the next IETF.)

EPP is a full standard (STD69) and is designed to be extensible. One effort is to try to publicize the extensions being made that are not documented in the RFC document series. In addition, the growth of registration organizations has pointed out that the basic EPP protocol has some built-in assumptions about the operations environment, the second effort is to understand the limitations and possibly generate a EPPbis requirements.

DNSSEC generates data that must be transferred from one management zone to another. In the business world, the interface between management zones have evolved into numerous forms. The data DNSSEC needs to transfer is a hash of something, that is, data that is not "on the tip of anyone's tongue."

The work as envisioned may or may not easily fit into the IETF's notion of a (single) WG, not even a focused BOF. The goal of this discussion is to try to come up with a plan for establishing a more universal means for registration of Internet objects, including DNSSEC data recognizing that we also have an installed base that is functioning.

As with IPv6, the problem with the deployment of frictionless surfaces is
that they're not getting traction.
