    1.  Introduction

       This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
       Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730].  This EPP mapping
       specifies a flexible schema that can be used to implement several
       common use cases related to the provisioning and management of domain
       name registrations and applications during the launch of a domain
       name registry.

       It is typical for domain registries to operate in special modes
       during their initial launch to facilitate allocation of domain names,
       often according to special rules.  This document uses the term
       "launch phase" and the shorter form "launch" to refer to such a
       period.

       The EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] is designed for the steady-
       state operation of a registry.  During a launch period, the model in

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

       place may be different from what is defined in the EPP domain name
       mapping [RFC5731].  For example, registries often accept multiple
       applications for the same domain name during the "Sunrise" launch
       phase, referred to as a Launch Application.  A Launch Registration
       refers to a registration made during a launch phase when the server
       uses a "first-come, first-served" model.  Even in a "first-come,
       first-served" model, additional steps and information might be
       required, such as trademark information.  In addition, the [RFC7848]
       defines a registry interface for the Trademark Claims or "claims"
       launch phase that includes support for presenting a Trademark Claims
       Notice to the Registrant.  This document proposes an extension to the
       domain name mapping in order to provide a uniform interface for the
       management of Launch Applications and Launch Registrations in launch
       phases.

    1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document

       The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
       "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
       document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

       XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
       and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
       character case presented in order to develop a conforming
       implementation.

       In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
       represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
       white space in examples are provided only to illustrate element
       relationships and are not a REQUIRED feature of this protocol.

       "launch-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
       "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0".  The XML namespace prefix
       "launch" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and
       instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to
       interpret and output the XML documents.

       "signedMark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
       "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0" that is defined in [RFC7848].
       The XML namespace prefix "smd" is used, but implementations MUST NOT
       depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser
       and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents.

       "mark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
       "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0" that is defined in [RFC7848].  The
       XML namespace prefix "mark" is used, but implementations MUST NOT
       depend on it and instead employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser
       and serializer to interpret and output the XML documents.

    2.  Object Attributes

       This extension adds additional elements to the EPP domain name
       mapping [RFC5731].  Only those new elements are described here.

    2.1.  Application Identifier

       Servers MAY allow multiple applications, referred to as a Launch
       Application, of the same domain name during its launch phase
       operations.  Upon receiving a valid request to create a Launch
       Application, the server MUST create an application object
       corresponding to the request, assign an application identifier for
       the Launch Application, set the [RFC5731] pendingCreate status, and
       return the application identifier to the client with the
       <launch:applicationID> element.  In order to facilitate correlation,
       all subsequent launch operations on the Launch Application MUST be
       qualified by the previously assigned application identifier using the
       <launch:applicationID> element.

       If the <domain:create> command processes a request synchronously
       without the use of an intermediate Launch Application, then an
       application identifier MAY not be needed.

    2.2.  Validator Identifier

       The Validator Identifier is the unique identifier for a Trademark
       Validator that validates marks and has a repository of validated
       marks.  The OPTIONAL "validatorID" attribute is used to define the
       Validator Identifier of the Trademark Validator.  Registries MAY
       support more than one Third Party Trademark Validator.  The Internet
       Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Trademark
       Clearinghouse (TMCH) is the default Trademark Validator and is
       reserved the Validator Identifier of "tmch".  If the ICANN TMCH is
       not used or multiple Trademark Validators are used, the Validator
       Identifier MUST be defined using the "validatorID" attribute.

       The Validator Identifier MAY be related to one or more issuer
       identifiers of the <mark:id> element and the <smd:id> element defined
       in [RFC7848].  Both the Validator Identifier and the Issuer
       Identifier used MUST be unique.  The list of validator identifiers
       and the relationship to issuer identifiers is out of scope for this
       document.

       The Validator Identifier MAY define a non-Trademark Validator that
       supports a form of claims.

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

    2.3.  Launch Phases

       The server MAY support multiple launch phases sequentially or
       simultaneously.  The <launch:phase> element MUST be included by the
       client to define the target launch phase of the command.  The server
       SHOULD validate the phase and MAY validate the sub-phase of the
       <launch:phase> element against the active phase and OPTIONAL sub-
       phase of the server on a create command, and return an EPP error
       result code of 2306 if there is a mismatch.

       The following launch phase values are defined:

       sunrise  The phase during which trademark holders can submit
          registrations or applications with trademark information that can
          be validated by the server.
       landrush  A post-Sunrise phase when non-trademark holders are allowed
          to register domain names with steps taken to address a large
          volume of initial registrations.
       claims  The phase, as defined in the Section 2.3.1, in which a Claims
          Notice MUST be displayed to a prospective registrant of a domain
          name that matches trademarks.
       open  A post-launch phase that is also referred to as "steady state".
          Servers MAY require additional trademark protection during this
          phase.
       custom  A custom server launch phase that is defined using the "name"
          attribute.

       For extensibility, the <launch:phase> element includes an OPTIONAL
       "name" attribute that can define a sub-phase, or the full name of the
       phase when the <launch:phase> element has the "custom" value.  For
       example, the "claims" launch phase could have two sub-phases that
       include "landrush" and "open".

       Launch phases MAY overlap to support the "claims" launch phase,
       defined in the Section 2.3.1, and to support a traditional "landrush"
       launch phase.  The overlap of the "claims" and "landrush" launch
       phases SHOULD be handled by setting "claims" as the <launch:phase>
       value and setting "landrush" as the sub-phase with the "name"
       attribute.  For example, the <launch:phase> element SHOULD be
       <launch:phase name="landrush">claims</launch:phase>.

    2.3.1.  Trademark Claims Phase

       The Trademark Claims Phase is when a Claims Notice MUST be displayed
       to a prospective registrant of a domain name that matches trademarks.
       The source of the trademarks is a Trademark Validator and the source
       of the Claims Notice information is a Claim Notice Information
       Service (CNIS), which MAY be directly linked to a Trademark

    Gould, et al.            Expires April 30, 2017                 [Page 6]

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

       Validator.  The client interfaces with the server to determine if a
       trademark exists for a domain name, interfaces with a CNIS to get the
       Claims Notice information, and interfaces with the server to pass the
       Claims Notice acceptance information in a create command.  This
       document supports the Trademark Claims Phase in two ways including:

       Claims Check Form  Claims Check Form (Section 3.1.1) is used to
          determine whether or not there are any matching trademarks for a
          domain name.  If there is at least one matching trademark that
          exists for the domain name, a claims key is returned.  The mapping
          of domain names and the claims keys is based on an out-of-band
          interface between the server and the Trademark Validator.  The
          CNIS associated with the claims key Validator Identifier
          (Section 2.2) MUST accept the claims key as the basis for
          retrieving the claims information.
       Claims Create Form  Claims Create Form (Section 3.3.2) is used to
          pass the Claims Notice acceptance information in a create command.
          The notice identifier (<launch:noticeID>) format, validation
          rules, and server processing is up to the interface between the
          server and the Trademark Validator.  The CNIS associated with the
          Validator Identifier (Section 2.2) MUST generate a notice
          identifier compliant with the <launch:noticeID> element.

    2.4.  Status Values

       A Launch Application or Launch Registration object MAY have a launch
       status value.  The <launch:status> element is used to convey the
       launch status pertaining to the object, beyond what is specified in
       the object mapping.  A Launch Application or Launch Registration MUST
       set the [RFC5731] "pendingCreate" status if a launch status is
       supported and the launch status is not one of the final statuses,
       including the "allocated" and "rejected" statuses.

       The following status values are defined using the required "s"
       attribute:

       pendingValidation:  The initial state of a newly-created application
          or registration object.  The application or registration requires
          validation, but the validation process has not yet completed.
       validated:  The application or registration meets relevant registry
          rules.
       invalid:  The application or registration does not validate according
          to registry rules.  Server policies permitting, it may transition
          back into "pendingValidation" for revalidation, after
          modifications are made to ostensibly correct attributes that
          caused the validation failure.
       pendingAllocation:  The allocation of the application or registration
          is pending based on the results of some out-of-band process (for
          example, an auction).
       allocated:  The object corresponding to the application or
          registration has been provisioned.  Is a possible end state of an
          application or registration object.
       rejected:  The application or registration object was not
          provisioned.  Is a possible end state of an application or
          registration object.
       custom:  A custom status that is defined using the "name" attribute.

       Each status value MAY be accompanied by a string of human-readable
       text that describes the rationale for the status applied to the
       object.  The OPTIONAL "lang" attribute MAY be present to identify the
       language if the negotiated value is something other than the default
       value of "en" (English).

       For extensibility the <launch:status> element includes an OPTIONAL
       "name" attribute that can define a sub-status or the full name of the
       status when the status value is "custom".  The server SHOULD NOT use
       the "custom" status value.

       Status values MAY be skipped.  For example, an application or
       registration MAY immediately start at the "allocated" status or an
       application or registration MAY skip the "pendingAllocation" status.

    Gould, et al.            Expires April 30, 2017                 [Page 9]

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

       If the launch phase does not require validation of a request, an
       application or registration MAY immediately skip to
       "pendingAllocation".

    2.5.  Poll Messaging

       A Launch Application MUST and a Launch Registration MAY be handled as
       a domain name of [RFC5731] in "pendingCreate" status, with the launch
       status values defined in Section 2.4.  As a Launch Application or
       Launch Registration transitions between the status values defined in
       Section 2.4, the server SHOULD insert poll messages, per [RFC5730],
       for the applicable intermediate statuses, including the
       "pendingValidation", "validated", "pendingAllocation, and "invalid"
       statuses, using the <domain:infData> element with the
       <launch:infData> extension.  The <domain:infData> element MAY contain
       non-mandatory information, like contact and name server information.
       Also, further extensions that would normally be included in the
       response of a <domain:info> command, per [RFC5731], MAY be included.
       For the final statuses, including the "allocated" and "rejected"
       statuses, the server MUST insert a <domain:panData> poll message, per
       [RFC5731], with the <launch:infData> extension.

    2.6.  Mark Validation Models

       A server MUST support at least one of the following models for
       validating trademark information:

       code  Use of a mark code by itself to validate that the mark matches
          the domain name.  This model is supported using the
          <launch:codeMark> element with just the <launch:code> element.
       mark  The mark information is passed without any other validation
          element.  The server will use some custom form of validation to

    Gould, et al.            Expires April 30, 2017                [Page 14]

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

          validate that the mark information is authentic.  This model is
          supported using the <launch:codeMark> element with just the
          <mark:mark> (Section 2.6.2) element.
       code with mark:  A code is used along with the mark information by
          the server to validate the mark utilizing an external party.  The
          code represents some form of secret that matches the mark
          information passed.  This model is supported using the
          <launch:codeMark> element that contains both the <launch:code> and
          the <mark:mark> (Section 2.6.2) elements.
       signed mark:  The mark information is digitally signed as described
          in the Digital Signature (Section 2.6.3) section.  The digital
          signature can be directly validated by the server using the public
          key of the external party that created the signed mark using its
          private key.  This model is supported using the <smd:signedMark>
          (Section 2.6.3.1) and <smd:encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.3.2)
          elements.

       More than one <launch:codeMark>, <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.3.1),
       or <smd:encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.3.2) element MAY be
       specified.  The maximum number of marks per domain name is up to
       server policy.

    2.6.1.  <launch:codeMark> element

       The <launch:codeMark> element that is used by the "code", "mark", and
       "code with mark" validation models, has the following child elements:

       <launch:code>:  OPTIONAL mark code used to validate the <mark:mark>
          (Section 2.6.2) information.  The mark code is be a mark-specific
          secret that the server can verify against a third party.  The
          OPTIONAL "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier
          (Section 2.2) whose value indicates which Trademark Validator that
          the code originated from, with no default value.
       <mark:mark>:  OPTIONAL mark information with child elements defined
          in the Mark (Section 2.6.2) section.

       The following is an example <launch:codeMark> element with both a
       <launch:code> and <mark:mark> (Section 2.6.2) element.

       <launch:codeMark>
         <launch:code validatorID="sample">
           49FD46E6C4B45C55D4AC</launch:code>
         <mark:mark xmlns:mark="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0">
           ...
         </mark:mark>
       </launch:codeMark>

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

    2.6.2.  <mark:mark> element

       A <mark:mark> element describes an applicant's prior right to a given
       domain name that is used with the "mark", "mark with code", and the
       "signed mark" validation models.  The <mark:mark> element is defined
       in [RFC7848].  A new mark format can be supported by creating a new
       XML schema for the mark that has an element that substitutes for the
       <mark:abstractMark> element from [RFC7848].

    2.6.3.  Digital Signature

       Digital signatures MAY be used by the server to validate either the
       mark information, when using the "signed mark" validation model with
       the <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.3.1) element or the
       <smd:encodedSignedMark> (Section 2.6.3.2) element.

    2.6.3.1.  <smd:signedMark> element

       The <smd:signedMark> element contains the digitally signed mark
       information.  The <smd:signedMark> element is defined in [RFC7848].
       A new signed mark format can be supported by creating a new XML
       schema for the signed mark that has an element that substitutes for
       the <smd:abstractSignedMark> element from [RFC7848].

    2.6.3.2.  <smd:encodedSignedMark> element

       The <smd:encodedSignedMark> element contains an encoded form of the
       digitally signed <smd:signedMark> (Section 2.6.3.1) element.  The
       <smd:encodedSignedMark> element is defined in [RFC7848].  A new
       encoded signed mark format can be supported by creating a new XML
       schema for the encoded signed mark that has an element that
       substitutes for the <smd:encodedSignedMark> element from [RFC7848].

    3.  EPP Command Mapping

       A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
       in the EPP core protocol specification [RFC5730].  The command
       mappings described here are specifically for use in the Launch Phase
       Extension.

       This mapping is designed to be flexible, requiring only a minimum set
       of required elements.

       While it is meant to serve several use cases, it does not prescribe
       any interpretation by the client or server.  Such processing is
       typically highly policy-dependent and therefore specific to
       implementations.

    Gould, et al.            Expires April 30, 2017                [Page 16]

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

       Operations on application objects are done via one or more of the
       existing EPP verbs defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731].
       Registries MAY choose to support a subset of the operations.

    3.1.  EPP <check> Command

       There are three forms of the extension to the EPP <check> command:
       the Claims Check Form (Section 3.1.1), the Availability Check Form
       (Section 3.1.2), and the Trademark Check Form (Section 3.1.3).  The
       <launch:check> element "type" attribute defines the form, with the
       value of "claims" for the Claims Check Form (Section 3.1.1), with the
       value of "avail" for the Availability Check Form (Section 3.1.2), and
       with the value of "trademark" for the Trademark Check Form
       (Section 3.1.3).  The default value of the "type" attribute is
       "claims".  The forms supported by the server is determined by server
       policy.  The server MUST return an EPP error result code of 2307 if
       it receives a check form that is not supported.

    3.1.1.  Claims Check Form

       The Claims Check Form defines a new command called the Claims Check
       Command that is used to determine whether or not there are any
       matching trademarks, in the specified launch phase, for each domain
       name passed in the command, that requires the use of the "Claims
       Create Form" on a Domain Create Command.  The availability check
       information defined in the EPP domain name mapping [RFC5731] MUST NOT
       be returned for the Claims Check Command.  This form is the default
       form and MAY be explicitly identified by setting the <launch:check>
       "type" attribute to "claims".

       Instead of returning whether the domain name is available, the Claims
       Check Command will return whether or not at least one matching
       trademark exists for the domain name, that requires the use of the
       "Claims Create Form" on a Domain Create Command.  If there is at
       least one matching trademark that exists for the domain name, a
       <launch:claimKey> element is returned.  The client MAY then use the
       value of the <launch:claimKey> element to obtain information needed
       to generate the Trademark Claims Notice from Trademark Validator
       based on the Validator Identifier (Section 2.2).  The unique notice
       identifier of the Trademark Claims Notice MUST be passed in the
       <launch:noticeID> element of the extension to the Create Command
       (Section 3.3).

       The <domain:name> elements in the EPP <check> command of EPP domain
       name mapping [RFC5731] define the domain names to check for matching
       trademarks.  The <launch:check> element contains the following child
       elements:

    Gould, et al.            Expires April 30, 2017                [Page 17]

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

       <launch:phase>  Contains the value of the active launch phase of the
           server.  The server SHOULD validate the value against the active
           server launch phase.

       Example Claims Check command using the <check> domain command and the
       <launch:check> extension with the "type" explicitly set to "claims",
       to determine if "domain1.example", "domain2.example", and
       "domain3.example" require claims notices during the "claims" launch
       phase:

       C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
       C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
       C:  <command>
       C:   <check>
       C:    <domain:check
       C:     xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
       C:      <domain:name>domain1.example</domain:name>
       C:      <domain:name>domain2.example</domain:name>
       C:      <domain:name>domain3.example</domain:name>
       C:    </domain:check>
       C:   </check>
       C:   <extension>
       C:    <launch:check
       C:     xmlns:launch="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:launch-1.0"
       C:     type="claims">
       C:      <launch:phase>claims</launch:phase>

       C:   <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
       C:  </command>
       C:</epp>

       If the <check> command has been processed successfully, the EPP
       <response> MUST contain an <extension> <launch:chkData> element that
       identifies the launch namespace.  The <launch:chkData> element
       contains the following child elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase that mirrors the <launch:phase> element
           included in the <launch:check>.
       <launch:cd>  One or more <launch:cd> elements that contain the
           following child elements:

           <launch:name>  Contains the fully qualified name of the queried
               domain name.  This element MUST contain an "exists" attribute
               whose value indicates if a matching trademark exists for the
               domain name that requires the use of the "Claims Create Form"
               on a Domain Create Command.  A value of "1" (or "true") means

               that a matching trademark does exist and that the "Claims
               Create Form" is required on a Domain Create Command.  A value
               of "0" (or "false") means that a matching trademark does not
               exist or that the "Claims Create Form" is NOT required on a
               Domain Create Command.
           <launch:claimKey>  Zero or more OPTIONAL claim keys that MAY be
               passed to a third-party Trademark Validator such as the ICANN
               Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for querying the information
               needed to generate a Trademark Claims Notice.  The
               <launch:claimKey> is used as the key for the query in place
               of the domain name to securely query the service without
               using a well-known value like a domain name.  The OPTIONAL
               "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier
               (Section 2.2) whose value indicates which Trademark Validator
               to query for the Claims Notice information, with the default
               being the ICANN TMCH.  The "validatorID" attribute MAY
               reference a non-trademark claims clearinghouse identifer to
               support other forms of claims notices.

    3.1.2.  Availability Check Form

       The Availability Check Form defines additional elements to extend the
       EPP <check> command described in the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731].  No additional elements are defined for the EPP <check>

       response.  This form MUST be identified by setting the <launch:check>
       "type" attribute to "avail".

       The EPP <check> command is used to determine if an object can be
       provisioned within a repository.  Domain names may be made available
       only in unique launch phases, whilst remaining unavailable for
       concurrent launch phases.  In addition to the elements expressed in
       the <domain:check>, the command is extended with the <launch:check>
       element that contains the following child elements:

       <launch:phase>  The launch phase to which domain name availability
           should be determined.

       Example Availability Check Form command using the <check> domain
       command and the <launch:check> extension with the "type" set to
       "avail", to determine the availability of two domain names in the
       "idn-release" custom launch phase:

       C:  </command>
       C:</epp>

       The Availability Check Form does not define any extension to the
       response of an <check> domain command.  After processing the command,
       the server replies with a standard EPP response as defined in the EPP
       domain name mapping [RFC5731].

    3.1.3.  Trademark Check Form

       The Trademark Check Form defines a new command called the Trademark
       Check Command that is used to determine whether or not there are any
       matching trademarks for each domain name passed in the command,
       independent of the active launch phase of the server and whether the
       "Claims Create Form" is required on a Domain Create Command.  The
       availability check information defined in the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731] MUST NOT be returned for the Trademark Check Command.  This
       form MUST be identified by setting the <launch:check> "type"
       attribute to "trademark".

       Instead of returning whether the domain name is available, the
       Trademark Check Command will return whether or not at least one
       matching trademark exists for the domain name.  If there is at least
       one matching trademark that exists for the domain name, a
       <launch:claimKey> element is returned.  The client MAY then use the
       value of the <launch:claimKey> element to obtain Trademark Claims
       Notice information from Trademark Validator based on the Validator
       Identifier (Section 2.2).

       The <domain:name> elements in the EPP <check> command of EPP domain
       name mapping [RFC5731] define the domain names to check for matching
       trademarks.  The <launch:check> element does not contain any child
       elements with the "Trademark Check Form":

       <launch:cd>  One or more <launch:cd> elements that contain the
           following child elements:

           <launch:name>  Contains the fully qualified name of the queried
               domain name.  This element MUST contain an "exists" attribute
               whose value indicates if a matching trademark exists for the
               domain name.  A value of "1" (or "true") means that a
               matching trademark does exist.  A value of "0" (or "false")
               means that a matching trademark does not exist.
           <launch:claimKey>  Zero or more OPTIONAL claim keys that MAY be
               passed to a third-party Trademark Validator such as the ICANN
               Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for querying the information
               needed to generate a Trademark Claims Notice.  The
               <launch:claimKey> is used as the key for the query in place
               of the domain name to securely query the service without
               using a well-known value like a domain name.  The OPTIONAL
               "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier

    3.2.  EPP <info> Command

       This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <info>
       command and response to be used in conjunction with the EPP domain
       name mapping [RFC5731].

       The EPP <info> command is used to retrieve information for a launch
       phase registration or application.  The Application Identifier
       (Section 2.1) returned in the <launch:creData> element of the create
       response (Section 3.3) is used for retrieving information for a
       Launch Application.  A <launch:info> element is sent along with the
       regular <info> domain command.  The <launch:info> element includes an
       OPTIONAL "includeMark" boolean attribute, with a default value of
       "false", to indicate whether or not to include the mark in the
       response.  The <launch:info> element contains the following child
       elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase during which the application or
           registration was submitted or is associated with.  Server policy
           defines the phases that are supported.
       <launch:applicationID>  OPTIONAL application identifier of the Launch
           Application.

       Example <info> domain command with the <launch:info> extension to
       retrieve information for the sunrise application for domain.example
       and application identifier "abc123":

       C:  </command>
       C:</epp>

       If the query was successful, the server replies with a
       <launch:infData> element along with the regular EPP <resData>.  The
       <launch:infData> contains the following child elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase during which the application was submitted,
           or is associated with, that matches the associated <info> command
           <launch:phase>.
       <launch:applicationID>  OPTIONAL Application Identifier of the Launch
           Application.
       <launch:status>  OPTIONAL status of the Launch Application using one
           of the supported status values (Section 2.4).
       <mark:mark>  Zero or more <mark:mark> (Section 2.6.2) elements.

    3.3.  EPP <create> Command

       There are four forms of the extension to the EPP <create> command
       that include the Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1), the Claims
       Create Form (Section 3.3.2), the General Create Form (Section 3.3.3),
       and the Mixed Create Form (Section 3.3.4).  The form is dependent on
       the supported launch phases (Section 2.3) as defined below.

       sunrise  The EPP <create> command with the "sunrise" launch phase is
          used to submit a registration with trademark information that can
          be verified by the server with the <domain:name> value.  The
          Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1) is used for the "sunrise"
          launch phase.
       landrush  The EPP <create> command with the "landrush" launch phase
          MAY use the General Create Form (Section 3.3.3) to explicitly
          specify the phase and optionally define the expected type of
          object to create.
       claims  The EPP <create> command with the "claims" launch phase is
          used to pass the information associated with the presentation and
          acceptance of the Claims Notice.  The Claims Create Form
          (Section 3.3.2) is used and the General Create Form
          (Section 3.3.3) MAY be used for the "claims" launch phase.
       open  The EPP <create> command with the "open" launch phase is
          undefined but the form supported is up to server policy.  Use of
          the Claims Create Form (Section 3.3.2) MAY be used to pass the
          information associated with the presentation and acceptance of the
          Claims Notice if required for the domain name.
       custom  The EPP <create> command with the "custom" launch phase is
          undefined but the form supported is up to server policy.

    3.3.1.  Sunrise Create Form

       The Sunrise Create Form of the extension to the EPP domain name
       mapping [RFC5731] includes the verifiable trademark information that
       the server uses to match against the domain name to authorize the
       domain create.  A server MUST support one of four models in Claim
       Validation Models (Section 2.6) to verify the trademark information
       passed by the client.

       A <launch:create> element is sent along with the regular <create>
       domain command.  The <launch:create> element has an OPTIONAL "type"
       attribute that defines the expected type of object ("application" or
       "registration") to create.  The server SHOULD validate the "type"
       attribute, when passed, against the type of object that will be
       created.  The <launch:create> element contains the following child
       elements:

       <launch:phase>  The identifier for the launch phase.

               <smd:signedMark> child elements are defined in the
               <smd:signedMark> element (Section 2.6.3.1) section.
           <smd:encodedSignedMark>  Zero or more <smd:encodedSignedMark>
               elements.  The <smd:encodedSignedMark> child elements are
               defined in the <smd:encodedSignedMark> element
               (Section 2.6.3.2) section.

       registrant's acceptance of the Claims Notice.

       A <launch:create> element is sent along with the regular <create>
       domain command.  The <launch:create> element has an OPTIONAL "type"
       attribute that defines the expected type of object ("application" or
       "registration") to create.  The server SHOULD validate the "type"
       attribute, when passed, against the type of object that will be
       created.  The <launch:create> element contains the following child
       elements:

               "validatorID" attribute is the Validator Identifier
               (Section 2.2) whose value indicates which Trademark Validator
               is the source of the claims notice, with the default being
               the ICANN TMCH.
           <launch:notAfter>  Expiry of the claims notice.
           <launch:acceptedDate>  Contains the date and time that the claims
               notice was accepted.

    3.3.3.  General Create Form

       The General Create Form of the extension to the EPP domain name
       mapping [RFC5731] includes the launch phase and optionally the object
       type to create.  The OPTIONAL "type" attribute defines the expected
       type of object ("application" or "registration") to create.  The
       server SHOULD validate the "type" attribute, when passed, against the
       type of object that will be created.

       A <launch:create> element is sent along with the regular <create>
       domain command.  The <launch:create> element contains the following
       child elements:

       <launch:phase>  Contains the value of the active launch phase of the
           server.  The server SHOULD validate the value against the active
           server launch phase.

       The following is an example <create> domain command using the
       <launch:create> extension for a "landrush" launch phase application:

    3.3.4.  Mixed Create Form

       The Mixed Create Form supports a mix of the create forms, where for
       example the Sunrise Create Form (Section 3.3.1) and the Claims Create
       Form (Section 3.3.2) MAY be supported in a single command by
       including both the verified trademark information and the information
       related to the registrant's acceptance of the Claims Notice.  The
       server MAY support the Mixed Create Form.  The "custom" launch phase
       SHOULD be used when using the Mixed Create Form.

    3.3.5.  Create Response

       If the create was successful, the server MAY reply with the
       <launch:creData> element along with the regular EPP <resData> to
       indicate the server generated Application Identifier (Section 2.1),
       when multiple applications of a given domain name are supported;
       otherwise no extension is included with the regular EPP <resData>.
       The <launch:creData> element contains the following child elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase of the application that mirrors the
           <launch:phase> element included in the <launch:create>.
       <launch:applicationID>  The application identifier of the
           application.

    Internet-Draft        Launch Phase Mapping for EPP          October 2016

    3.4.  EPP <update> Command

       This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <update>
       command to be used in conjunction with the domain name mapping.

       A client MUST NOT pass the extension on an EPP <update> command to a
       server that does not support launch applications.  A server that does
       not support launch applications during its launch phase MUST return
       an EPP error result code of 2102 when receiving an EPP <update>
       command with the extension.

       Registry policies permitting, clients may update an application
       object by submitting an EPP <update> command along with a
       <launch:update> element to indicate the application object to be
       updated.  The <launch:update> element contains the following child
       elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase during which the application was submitted
           or is associated with.
       <launch:applicationID>  The application identifier for which the
           client wishes to update.

       The following is an example <update> domain command with the
       <launch:update> extension to add and remove a name server of a
       sunrise application with the application identifier "abc123":

       C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
       C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">

       C:  </command>
       C:</epp>

       This extension does not define any extension to the response of an
       <update> domain command.  After processing the command, the server
       replies with a standard EPP response as defined in the EPP domain
       name mapping [RFC5731].

    3.5.  EPP <delete> Command

       This extension defines additional elements to extend the EPP <delete>
       command to be used in conjunction with the domain name mapping.

       A client MUST NOT pass the extension on an EPP <delete> command to a
       server that does not support launch applications.  A server that does
       not support launch applications during its launch phase MUST return

       an EPP error result code of 2102 when receiving an EPP <delete>
       command with the extension.

       Registry policies permitting, clients MAY withdraw an application by
       submitting an EPP <delete> command along with a <launch:delete>
       element to indicate the application object to be deleted.  The
       <launch:delete> element contains the following child elements:

       <launch:phase>  The phase during which the application was submitted
           or is associated with.
       <launch:applicationID>  The application identifier for which the
           client wishes to delete.

       The following is an example <delete> domain command with the
       <launch:delete> extension:

       C:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
       C:<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">

       C:</epp>

       This extension does not define any extension to the response of a
       <delete> domain command.  After processing the command, the server
       replies with a standard EPP response as defined in the EPP domain
       name mapping [RFC5731].

    3.6.  EPP <renew> Command

       This extension does not define any extension to the EPP <renew>
       command or response described in the EPP domain name mapping
       [RFC5731].

    4.  Formal Syntax

       One schema is presented here that is the EPP Launch Phase Mapping
       schema.

       The formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation
       of the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
       instances.  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
       are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
       registration purposes.

    6.  Implementation Status

       Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to
       RFC 6982 [RFC6982] before publication.

       This section records the status of known implementations of the
       protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
       Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in RFC 6982
       [RFC6982].  The description of implementations in this section is
       intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing
       drafts to RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual
       implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.
       Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information
       presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not
       intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available
       implementations or their features.  Readers are advised to note that
       other implementations may exist.

       According to RFC 6982 [RFC6982], "this will allow reviewers and
       working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the
       benefit of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable

    7.  Security Considerations

       The mapping extensions described in this document do not provide any
       security services beyond those described by EPP [RFC5730], the EPP
       domain name mapping [RFC5731], and protocol layers used by EPP.  The
       security considerations described in these other specifications apply
       to this specification as well.

       Updates to, and deletion of an application object must be restricted
       to clients authorized to perform the said operation on the object.

       As information contained within an application, or even the mere fact
       that an application exists may be confidential.  Any attempt to
       operate on an application object by an unauthorized client MUST be
       rejected with an EPP 2201 (authorization error) return code.  Server
       policy may allow <info> operation with filtered output by clients
       other than the sponsoring client, in which case the <domain:infData>
       and <launch:infData> response SHOULD be filtered to include only
       fields that are publicly accessible.
