Dear colleagues,

Thanks to the list administrators for getting this mailing list back up
and running.

For those subscribers not on the regops list
(http://nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo/regops) there is a draft
co-authored by myself and Wil Tan of  CloudRegistry for an EPP extension
to deal with so-called "sunrise" and "landrush" phases during the
initial startup of a TLD. The draft can be found at this URL:
https://github.com/wil/EPP-Launch-Phase-Extension-Specification

Having spoken to several registrars and registries, I get the feeling 
that such a specification would be very valuable, especially since we 
expect to see hundreds of new TLDs going through sunrise and landrush 
phases in the next couple of years. Many registrars would appreciate 
being able to do a single development that can be reused for all new
TLDs.

Following discussions on regops and a brief meeting during the ICANN
meeting in San Francisco last month, we've prepared a "first pass" of a
requirements document to frame the scope and objectives for this
extension. We are very keen to get feedback, especially from registrars
and those who might offer "trademark clearinghouses" - these people are
unlikely to be subscribers to this list, so if you know them, please
reach out and ask them to participate.

The initial requirements document is attached.

Gavin.

Requirements
--------------------


In Scope
----------

Module 5 of ICANN's gTLD Applicant Guidebook states:

"The registry operator must implement, at a minimum, either a Sunrise 
period or a Trademark Claims service during the start-up phases for 
registration in the TLD. These mechanisms will be supported by the 
established Trademark Clearinghouse as indicated by ICANN."

This extension is designed to meet the requirements of registry 
operators and registrars participating in the Sunrise period of a new 
gTLD during the start-up phase of the gTLD registry, and during the 
additional "Landrush" period which has frequently followed the Sunrise 
period during previous registry launches. During Sunrise and Landrush 
periods, the registry operates under a different model to the standard 
"first-come, first-served", "steady state" or "General Availability" 
model. Specifically:

  * domain names are *not* registered on a "first-come, first-served" 
    basis

      Multiple applications for the same domain name may be received. 
      After an application is received, a <check> for the associated 
      domain name will still return an available result, as other 
      registrars may still submit application requests. The domain name 
      is only provisioned at the end of the specific phase of the 
      launch.

  * All applications made during the Sunrise period must meet minimum 
    Sunrise Eligibility Requirements (SERs), which are validated by the 
    Trademark Clearinghouse

      During the Sunrise period, all applications submitted to the 
      registry must include proof of eligibility. This may include 
      details of an associated trademark, or a token from the Trademark 
      Clearinghouse indicating that the applicant's eligibility has 
      already been validated.

  * Contentious applications for the same domain name are resolved via 
    an out-of-band process

      At the end of the Sunrise and/or Landrush period, all applications 
      are processed by the registry operator. Where there is only a 
      single application for a given domain name, then this domain name 
      is immediately provisioned and associated with the applicant, and 
      the applicant's registrar. Where there are multiple applications 
      for the same domain name, an out-of-band process such as a 
      mediation or auction process is used to determine the final 
      registrant of the domain.


Out of scope
--------------------

This extension does not attempt to solve any other use cases. In 
particular, it is not meant for "steady-state" operations, so any use 
case that may require an extension beyond a phase with a defined window 
of time will not be addressed. For example, if a registry is to be run 
with ongoing eligibility (or "nexus") requirements, then a separate 
extension should be used for these requirements.

1. This extension does not specify any mechanism for performing 
   validation of submitted data. It is assumed to be out of band.

2. Management of the application object on the server side (updating
   status, cancelling an application) [see notes]


Requirements for Registrars
---------------------------

* the extension should not change the semantics of existing commands, 
  objects or object elements, or define new object types

* the extension should allow for applications to be submitted, queried
  (both during and after the launch phase) and cancelled

Requirements for Registries
---------------------------

* the extension should not change the semantics of existing commands, 
  objects or object elements, or define new object types

* The data elements for Sunrise Eligibility Requirements must allow for 
  all possible data required by the Trademark Clearinghouse

* the extension should allow for multiple clearinghouses, and provide a
  way for registrars to indicate which clearinghouse has been used to
  validate an application

* the extension should provide a means to communicate the final outcome 
  of an application after the completion of the Sunrise/Landrush period

Requirements for Trademark Clearinghouses
-----------------------------------------

* Any data passed to the registry by the registrar as part of Sunrise 
  Eligibility Requirements should be complete

NOTES
* the above requirements are a first pass and we are very keen on
  getting feedback from all three stakeholder groups
* this extension will be agnostic on contact (doesn't matter if registry
  is thin/thick) and host mappings (doesn't matter which style is used:
  hostObj / hostAttr)
* can work with instant validation => in which case, registry may
  choose to reject requests that fail online validation, or place object
  into "validated" status immediately if it passes online validation.
* no extension on poll messages - or is that the best way to communicate
  results of end-of-phase processing?
* semantics of <check>
* should we allow updating of lp data e.g. trademark_name?
* [question in the draft] should we allow multiple status values? For
  example, it may make sense to have both the "validated" and
  "allocated" status values.
* proposal: adding a ID "type" field
* do we need to specify management of the object on the backend, i.e.
  updating status, deleting an application, etc.?

Hi all,

I had a look at the draft and thought about some experiences we had with
launch phases. A question regarding the lp:trademark_name field appeared.=


Some registries do not allow Unicode characters to appear in data
fields, they require US-ASCII.

If you have a German trademark, for instance "B=C3=BCro" (the German word=
 for
"office"), the common question on launch phases is how to pass this.

With the EPP contact object, you have an attribute "type" defined for
the contact:postalInfo with the values int or loc to handle this issue
(perhaps only one is supported, but then it's clear if I need to pass
US-ASCII or Unicode).

I know that there might be a policy for validating and rewriting
trademark names (e.g. "?" may be omitted). But I think it would be nice
to have something like this "type" attribute for the trademark name in
the draft. If there is no attribute for this, I'd suggest to include a
hint to care about Unicode characters in trademark names.

In my opinion this would increase chances to prevent problems with
Unicode trademark names.



Kind regards,

Hi Volker, thanks for your feedback.

> I had a look at the draft and thought about some experiences we had with
> launch phases. A question regarding the lp:trademark_name field appeared.

My understanding of this field is that it does not contain data that is 
used to validate the applicant's eligibility.

When a trademark clearinghouse is validating an application (for 
example.foo, say), they will take the trademark number (provided in the 
<lp:trademark_number> element) and use this to obtain the full trademark 
information from the trademark authority that has jurisdiction over the 
locality specified in the <lp:trademark_locality> element. This 
information will include the trademark name. The clearinghouse will then 
apply whatever the TLD's policy is for confirming that the trademark 
matches the domain name being applied for.

The <lp:trademark_name> field is therefore only a hint used to confirm 
the mark to which the application refers, but doesn't uniquely and 
solely identify it. It may not even be needed.

Does anyone agree/disagree?

G.

It might or might not provide validation. It depends on the trademark,  
where it's registered and who's doing the validation. In most cases I  
expect the filing number and other registration details would be  
enough. Though there may be examples where the string or logo --  
assuming it can be rendered in Unicode -- will be helpful: Kanji or  
Arabic trademarks for instance.

I'm not sure if this field needs to be added. It would be better to  
ask the people who do trademark validations and find out what they  
have to say about this. I suppose they'd say it was better to have  
this extra info and not need it than the other way round.

FWIW I was on the periphery of the sunrise for .tel. Applicants had to  
submit a canonicalised version of their trademark (ie comparable to  
RFC1123 hostname rules) and the validation agent would ask them for  
more info if/when they felt it was needed. That largely happened for  
incomplete or garbled applications IIRC rather than for trademarks  
which used non-Latin scripts.

IMO it would be wise not to use terms like "clearinghouse" or couple  
this EPP stuff too closely to ICANN's gTLD plans/processes. Although  
that may well be the main focus, it isn't the only game in town: eg  
ccTLD relaunches.

It doesn't follow that the TLD's trademark or sunrise policy can be  
definitive. This may well have to be subservient to the relevant  
trademark authority's rules: eg "if there's a discrepancy between the  
Latin-ised version of a mark and its expression in our local langauge,  
the local text wins".

That's probably true most of the time. At least for those who are  
validating Latin character names against on-line trademark databases.  
However it may be useful supplementary information when there is  
uncertainty or ambiguity about the trademark. The validation agent may  
well have to ask the applicant for more info in those cases anyway.  
But that would probably be by out-of-band means -- IPR lawyers sending  
faxes or PDFs -- rather than EPP transactions.

Hi Gavin, Volker,

I think that a trademark_name field might be required, as long as 
there's no way to query the trademark_name from (trademark_number, 
trademark_locality) in realtime, for all permitted localities.

Reason is that a registry should immediately refuse a domain 
application, if the respective trademark_name does not cover the domain 
name that's applied for.

A registry making use of the launchphase extension should publish the 
set of allowed charactes for trademark_name, and should define a 
function which validates if a trademark_name covers a domain name (e.g. 
a german umlaut Ö could cover Ö only, or Ö, O and OE).

I would not a flag like "type='loc/int'" for this purpose, as it only 
says 'unicode' vs. 7-bit ASCII. Some registries might e.g. want to limit 
e.g. to cyrillic chars only.

Best,
-jens

Gavin,

I want to raise the question for the list whether there is any standard
trademark authority interface / protocol since I believe that the EPP
extension would be highly dependent on the underlying interface requirement=
s
with the trademark authorities?  It would be great if representatives of th=
e
trademark authorities could participate and help collaborate on the EPP
extension as well as helping define a standard interface for the registrars
and registries to use.  I=B9m afraid without understanding the underlying
interface requirements of the trademark authorities that we=B9ll be guessing
on what is needed in the EPP extension that could result in additional
custom extensions having to be created or having to build additional
flexibility into the extension to mitigate the unknown.

My understanding of this field is that it does not contain data that is
used to validate the applicant's eligibility.

When a trademark clearinghouse is validating an application (for
example.foo, say), they will take the trademark number (provided in the
<lp:trademark_number> element) and use this to obtain the full trademark
information from the trademark authority that has jurisdiction over the
locality specified in the <lp:trademark_locality> element. This
information will include the trademark name. The clearinghouse will then
apply whatever the TLD's policy is for confirming that the trademark
matches the domain name being applied for.

The <lp:trademark_name> field is therefore only a hint used to confirm
the mark to which the application refers, but doesn't uniquely and
solely identify it. It may not even be needed.

Does anyone agree/disagree?

<BR>
Hi Volker, thanks for your feedback.<BR>
<BR>
&gt; I had a look at the draft and thought about some experiences we had wi=
th<BR>
&gt; launch phases. A question regarding the lp:trademark_name field appear=
ed.<BR>
<BR>
My understanding of this field is that it does not contain data that is<BR>
used to validate the applicant's eligibility.<BR>
<BR>
When a trademark clearinghouse is validating an application (for<BR>
example.foo, say), they will take the trademark number (provided in the<BR>
&lt;lp:trademark_number&gt; element) and use this to obtain the full tradem=
ark<BR>
information from the trademark authority that has jurisdiction over the<BR>
locality specified in the &lt;lp:trademark_locality&gt; element. This<BR>
information will include the trademark name. The clearinghouse will then<BR=
>
apply whatever the TLD's policy is for confirming that the trademark<BR>
matches the domain name being applied for.<BR>
<BR>
The &lt;lp:trademark_name&gt; field is therefore only a hint used to confir=
m<BR>
the mark to which the application refers, but doesn't uniquely and<BR>
solely identify it. It may not even be needed.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone agree/disagree?<BR>

I don't think so, however there several candidates with less than=20
universal (in theory) coverage that may be (in practice) nearly so,=20
for some registries, so perhaps a (IANA ID, TBD, entry) key-value pair=20
would, if non-empty, convey useful data, for a practical number of=20
registrations for one or more registries.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, if a hack works for com, then=20
it is likely to be adopted by some others, so that's a starting point=20
to determine hack utility value for some future .foo's TM registration=20
processing data stream.

Hi James,

I am actively trying to get input from various trademark experts and 
authorities - including the UK's IPO and WIPO - about whether any such 
standards exist. I completely agree that we need to get the trademark 
data model right or we're not going to get any adoption.

Just for your information:

Certain considerations that apply to the recent discussion on trademark 
validation are similar to the ENUM validation problem space, where 
a Domain Name could only be assigned, after the holder has proved his 
rights on the Domain Name / corresponding E.164 number.

You might want to have look into the ENUM Validation RFCs:
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4725 (Validation Architecture)
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5076 (EPP Mapping)
- http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5105 (Validation Token)

cheers,
  Bernie

Hi-

I've reached out to a few of the providers of CHIP-like validations to
comment on this.

Many of the IP systems that are the source for their end result data
were written without the benefit of Unicode, but some of the
clearinghouse providers spend some time in normalizing extended latin
characters into A-Z (ie =E9->e, =FC->u)

USPTO for example is mostly A-Z centric but in some cases do allow
certain characters beyond those typically legal within a non-IDN
domain name, such as extended latin, but candidly, there's no unified
standard.

The Laga system, IPRota, and some of the other clearinghouse services
that will connect up to registries to work with this validation
process on TM are pretty well evolved, but this is better fielded by
them.

I can see that adding a "type" attribute could help make the intention more
explicit.  However, I'm not sure how will this help in practice. Say you ha=
ve a
trademark with non-ASCII characters, so you send it as type=3D"loc", and th=
e
registry responds with an error because it only accepts ASCII.  Without thi=
s
@type attribute, since the field is an XML "normalizedString" it can contai=
n
pretty much any Unicode characters, you'd just send it along and the
registrywould respond with an error.

I would prefer your latter suggestion to include wording about the
trademark_name field being agnostic to the character repertoire, and that
restrictions are left to the implementor.

I agree.

Indeed, there are quite a few possible configurations of registry,
validation agent, and policies.

The reason trademark_name and trademark_* fields were included was
that our validation agent at that time asked for them. It has almost
always appeared on past sunrises, most of them managed through a
single validation agent notwithstanding, even if it was probably used
as extra hint as you mentioned.

Agree, and we've avoided using any such terms in the draft.

Dear all,

James Gould had voiced out a valid point, i.e. the elements are named
in a lowercase-with-underscores rather than camelCase. The latter is
more consistent with the rest of EPP, so I propose updating it to the
following on the next iteration of the draft:

application_id => applicationID
trademark_name => trademarkName
trademark_number => trademarkNumber
trademark_locality => trademarkLocality
trademark_entitlement => trademarkEntitlement
pvrc => PVRC (or stay all lowercase, I'm ambivalent)

Any comments or objections?

Will,

Thanks for bringing this up.  I prefer the lowercase pvrc that is in line
with the other EPP specifications (e.g. roid).

Subject: [provreg] LP naming convention

Dear all,

James Gould had voiced out a valid point, i.e. the elements are named
in a lowercase-with-underscores rather than camelCase. The latter is
more consistent with the rest of EPP, so I propose updating it to the
following on the next iteration of the draft:

application_id => applicationID
trademark_name => trademarkName
trademark_number => trademarkNumber
trademark_locality => trademarkLocality
trademark_entitlement => trademarkEntitlement
pvrc => PVRC (or stay all lowercase, I'm ambivalent)

Any comments or objections?

I agree very much with this change, even if it does not change anything
technically I think it is better to stay in line with the other EPP
drafts, and I wanted to suggest this but feared to be too much a
nitpicker, so thanks James to have raised the point :-)

On a related note, for me the 4 trademark nodes are atomic, as
reprensenting a single "entity". So for me it would make even more
sens to have a <trademark> node with the name, number, locality and
entitlement being children of it. I think it makes things clearer (as
to see what is related to the trademark per se, and what is related to
the trademark use in a given registry startup phase), and easier to
expand if needed later on.


I have no direct experiences with trademark claring houses, but I
agree their input here would be very much valuable. Also seeing what
was done for ENUM as Bernie suggested could be useful.

As for the the draft, some quick comments:

- §2 : Maybe add a not that an applicationID is like a domain ROID,
  the registry should make sure it is a unique number, which is needed
later on (see §3.2 comment below)

- §2.1 : I think the element is always useful, and it should not be
  derived from the time or the applicationID encoding.
It can of course not be a MUST, but I would think having its presence
as a SHOULD would be best.

- §2.2 : for <lp:status> I would advise using a scheme similar to
  <domain:status> such as having the string as an attribute so that
the node data is optional but could be a text in human form with more
info.

In order not to repeat problems with have with EPP, the draft should
clearly specify if and how registry can use other statuses (than those
defined in the draft) if they
need. The schema should be in such a way that adding new statuses is
easy, and can be done without breaking everything.

Also, yes, I think we should allow multiple statuses at a time.


- §2.3 I think a date is missing, either (trademark) application date or
  granted date, or both.

- §3.2 when the registry does a lp:info, the applicationID should be
  enough, as soon as the registry makes it unique
(same trademark used in 2 phases would have 2 applicationIDs)

The lp:phase should of course be in the registry reply.

In the registry reply I believe it to be strange that all nodes are
optional, except the applicationID.
If an applicationID exists it means something has been submitted so
not all elements later can be optional, at least one or some must be
defined.

- §3.2.1 I fail to parse the first sentence :
«    The client MUST ensure that any successful <info> command results
in a response that an <lp:infData> element is returned in the
response. »

Maybe it is completely clear for English speaker, in which case, can
you make it just a little simpler to non native English speaker ?

- §3.3 we take the case that 1 applicationID = 1 domain name

Are there cases where we should or can consider 1 applicationID = more
than one domain names ?
(either because multiple domain names can be derived from the same
trademark depending for example on canonicalisation rules, or
because the trademark owner gives a list of domain names ordered from
most prefered to least prefered, in case its first choice is alreay
taken)

Same remarks as before on all elements being optional: I think at
least one or some may be needed.

I'm uneasy with the registry reply, specifically the domain:creDate
and domain:exDate and also the 1000 result code.

Since there is further processing, I think we should have a 1001, not
a 1000.
Also, since the domain name is not really registered, the dates will
be wrong.
I know that at least one of them is mandatory, but I think in this way
this create a problem. Registrars will need to adapt their system.


There should be also some text about the domain:period asked by the
registrar: in some launch phases, the registry may mandate the initial
registration period, so some text should make clear what happens when
the registrar asks for another period than the one allowed by the
registry (is the operation accepted or refused ?)


- §3.3.2 : same problem for first sentence as §3.2.1 above

- §3.4 : same comment as above, the applicationID is enough in my view

I also think that the update section should more concentrate on
updating the info related to the application instead of the domain
name.
During the launch phases typically domain names are not published, so
there is no sens changing their nameservers.
Also for the contacts/registrants there may be registry policies
forbidding change because, for example, the registrant may be the
trademark owner or something like that.

On the contrary one may need to change data about the application,
such as adding the application granted date if it happens after the
initial submission, or add a new preverification code.

- §3.5 : as above, isn't the applicationID enough ?


Hope that helps,

Dear all,

Thank you for this extensive and detailed effort
to make the EPP scheme ready for 'sunrise'.
Trying to extend the EPP scheme to provide means to
incorporate validating services is a complicated matter.

We will have to distinguish  two different phases
1. Sending in info to show a certain right
2. Applying for an extension linked to the right

Actually these phases can be interchanged and often
a code is used to link the 2 different phases.

As examples :
.eu provided a code to a sunrise application that
could be used to send in documentary evidence
.co allowed to specify a code to register a name
in sunrise that was verified against a clearing house

If you want the EPP model to be extended to also
include the data to show a certain 'right' than
you will need a lot more than just a name, number
and country. (Such as type of right, if the right
has been given in concession, ...)
Despite me being around IP lawyers for quite some
time now, I always get the comment that I'm a
technical guy and see this things way to simple.

These are of course general remarks and I'm not
certain how to get them into an EPP schema. But
perhaps we should divide in an
<lp:right> section (denoting the right) and an
<lp:application> section (denoting the domain
name application).

The latter will be most easy to fill and could
(should?) contain : domain name, phase,
application id and/or pvrc.
The first (lp:right) is more difficult. It will
probably vary much from registry to registry.
It depends on which rights you will allow to
be applied for (eg: official TM, province/city/...,
local business and many others).

On a much lighter note I would like to change the
wording in the transition state from 'cancelled'
to 'rejected' since for me 'cancel' involves an
active action on the registrar side and this seems
to be a much more 'passive' state change from the
registrar view point.

Thank you all for putting your energy into this project.

Jan Jansen

Agreed, and the LP extension is indeed meant to cover a stripped down
version of the latter i.e. simply "applying for a domain without the
guarantee that it will be allocated."

An implementation could then choose to either:
1. not accept any other field (as in the case of land rush type launch
scenarios)
2. accept only a pre-verified code (pvrc) where it is used by the registry
to validate against a third party (probably trademark clearing house) using
an out-of-band mechanism.
3. accept either the pre-verified code or the set of fields that the
applicant may use to claim the right to a mark.

This, as I understand, would mean that the "sending in documentary evidence"
step is out-of-band. In that case, this extension can be used as in #1
above.

This is one of the primary use cases of the extension.

This is where we really need the help of the trademark community i.e. people
like yourself and the IP lawyers you're referring to ;-)

Ideally, we'd define a set of elements to cover the majority of the use
cases and make them most/all optional, and let the implementation decide
what is required by policy.

I think grouping the trademark-related fields into a parent element was also
suggested by Patrick Mavzek. I agree it's more logical to group them
together. I'm not sure if there's much to be gained from having the
<lp:application> container though.

Indeed. It is a tricky balancing act to have something generic enough for a
wide spectrum of use cases and yet maintaining simplicity and providing
semantically correct fields.

This makes sense. Unless anyone objects, I will change it in the next
iteration of the draft.
