Hi all, for those of you that are not in the bar BOF, here are some informa=
l
notes from my recollection. If you were in that session, please feel free t=
o
correct/add. =20

Kind regards,=20
Steve

*************************************************************************

Rough Number of Attendees: 40

Pete R. asked that this has been done in the past (IRIS), and there is
little adoption, why would this time be different?

- Andy mentioned that technically speaking IRIS is heavy weight. One of the
reasons that hindered IRIS's adoption is that it uses NAPTR. IRIS also uses
BEEP for transport as they were not allowed to use HTTP at the time. This
made it difficult to write clients and servers for IRIS. Compared with IRIS=
,
the RESTful approach reuses the HTTP component, and it does not use NAPTR.

- Steve S mentioned that ICANN's is looking to improve WHOIS including
support for internationalized registration data. They looked at several
alternatives (extending WHOIS, IRIS, RWS), and thought that the RESTful
approach by ARIN is most promising. So they did a pilot (documented in the
internet draft) to understand RWS better.


Participants discussed what are the problems to solve, and listed four:

- standardized/machine parsable output.

- support internationalized registration data

- Be able to support different users

- Better referral features


Pete R. asked if we developed this, would there be people willing to write
clients? Who are the consumers? Are there any evidence that _client_ people
want this?=20

- Jeff H. mentioned that they rely on this data heavily, and they would
write clients to use it.

- Peter K. disagreed, "it only benefits secondary domain industries, and
that the end user is ok with the current status quo."
=20
- the area directors would like to move this conversation onto the mailing
list to make sure that there will actually be people willing to write
clients for it, and people actually willing to use it.


Someone raised whether it make sense to do IRIS over HTTP?

- Andy mentioned that IRIS is tied to XML, and if alternative formats are
desired (JSON), then IRIS over HTTP might not work.


Andrew S. asked if people have any comments for the drafts?

- One comment, there is no schema for ARIN's draft. Harald A. asked Andy to
take an action item to add schema to ARIN's draft.

- Peter K. mentioned that there is a need to separate policy from technical=
.
In particular, the draft requirement document seems to be mixing policy
requirements with technical ones.

Andrew S. asked if people are willing to work on it and review drafts?

- About 10 people raised their hands.

i believe i said this in the context of DCHK or more general in the context
of "domain availability checks" of any flavour.  Primary user appears to
be the secondary domain market and this group apparently has learned to live
with a variety of protocols, some of them more or less proprietary.

i have reviewed this updated version with the discussion in mind.
The clarification in section 4.3 is a step forward, but still i think
these operational and policy requirements, while representing a real
constituency, need to be rephrased.

Not sure the collection of API descriptions is sufficient to meet
requirements either as layed out in this current version or any
subsequent result of a potential working group, mostly because they
appear kind of ready already.
However, the headlines (related to the other drafts circulated before
the bar bof meeting) implicitly state one requirement: if REST is the
religion du jour, that's something to state.

As discussed in Quebec, we'd probably need to have a walk-through of all
the requirements and explicitly accept, modify and not the least abandon
those listed in RFC 3707.

Agree. But it might be better to make this a requirement of the overall
protocol rather than one side of the interaction, i.e., "the protocol
MUST support i18n", or something along the lines of RFC 3707's section 3.2.9.

Same here. If the client is expected to cache, the protocol MUST or SHOULD
provide methods of cache-control.

This would mean the protocol has to support client authentication, integrity
and transport confidentiality and in the end also data origin authentication.
The protocol should support combinations thereof, but i'd rather not
encode different classes of access a priori.

The way it is written makes it an operational or policy requirement
that the IETF will have a hard time getting a say in.  RFC 3707 chose
a different approach that would require protocol features rather than
service models.  This is a crucial issue.  I understand where you're
coming from but the IETF is the wrong body (not implying a single such
body exists) to mandate certain fields in a whois or "registration
information service" output.

That certainly is the case, but that seemed to me to be inappropriate to sa=
y in a requirements document.

Fair enough.  Who among us is sufficiently familiar with the output of CRIS=
P to lead that effort?

Makes sense to me.  (Same for your other "see above"s.)

Also fair enough, though I think it might be beneficial to include these as=

I'm frankly a little worried that if the RFCs don't say something like this=
, we can just say "Hi, WHOIS is now HTTP and XML," and we're finished.  I s=
uppose it's the "If it's not said here, where will it be said?" concern, si=
nce I haven't heard for sure that ICANN plans to insist on a minimum field =
set for specific classes of service from registrars or anything like that.

It seems to me we're defining a service here, and defining some minima for =
compliance isn't outside of the IETF's realm.  But I'd be happy to hear of =
a better solution that ensures this gets covered somewhere if not here.

If the RFC includes operational requirements, it is "telling" 
operators what to do or it may be interpreted like that by some 
people.  Determining the policy for domains is not an IETF decision.

I suggest asking the policy makers about whether there are policies 
covering the data being provided through Whois.  If that question 
cannot be resolved, you might as well settle for HTTP and XML.

well, it should be possible to find some wording that doesn't predetermine
the solution more than acceptable - maybe by listing difficulties that
people experienced with (or didn't even bother to experience because they shied away
from) IRIS.

That would mean giving a rationale for the list of requirements? Sounds
reasonable to me.

Besides the "transport" and the representation paradigm, the data model
is very important as are the security properties of the protocol, both for
transport and the objects.  So, it's a bit more than http+xml, but i'd not
expect the content of the data objects to be subject to mandatory protocol
requirements.

ICANN, for one, will have to do its policy work no matter what.  The topic of
whois has been on ICANN's agenda since its inception and it won't be solved
by throwing it over the fence into the IETF's garden and then re-importing
policy declared as technical requirements.  Also, ICANN is only responsible
for part of the spectrum, still bound by different legislations.  The RIRs and
ccTLDs and potentially a fair number of "new" TLDs will have to adhere to their
own policy development processes and local legislation.

And here we are back to square one: did IRIS really "fail" and why?

I agree with Peter that content of the data is an ICANN issue not an IETF
issue. There are a lot of issues with WHOIS, but it is important to separat=
e
the policy issues / protocol issues.

In WHOIS, there are three elements: registration data, protocol and
services.=20

Regarding the registration data. Today, there is no overarching policy on
what they include / their purposes are. Currently the RAA (registrar
Accreditation agreement between ICANN and registrars identify what they are=
)
and ccTLD operators define their own policies. Whether to require a minimum
set is a very good question, however it is a policy question, and I conside=
r
it out of scope here.

What is perhaps within the scope is to make sure that the schema / data
model is structured and extensible.

Regarding the policies that operators set for the WHOIS service (rate limit=
,
availability), I sense the frustration is that there is much variability in
terms of the service offered. However, these are again primarily policy
questions, not technical ones.

>From a protocol perspective, instead of dictating policy, perhaps we should
think about enabling policy. For example the rate limit debate highlights
that there are different classes of users that have different query needs,
perhaps it is useful to have features in the protocol to distinguish them
and allow operators to apply different limits to different types of users
and (could even charge some of them, here again a policy and market
question).=20

small clarification: the emphasis is on "not IETF"; whether or not it's
ICANN's game depends on a number of factors. The fact of the matter ist
there is not a single body "to rule them all".

Absolutely. Attributes/fields or objcts need to be recognized as optional.
Otherwise people might follow the syntax but will have to provide N/A or
something similar.

Sure, that would be covered by Murray's use cases.  Again, IRIS had provisions
in that direction and the reason it was not (or not widely?) implemented
is not obviously technical.

Actually, isn't the content a matter that is administrative domain specific=
? In the case of domain name registries, the ICANN community makes policy r=
egarding domain registration data. In the case of Internet addressing regis=
tries, the ASO/RIRs do. But while these are the most popularly known WHOIS =
deployments, neither the framework nor the protocol ought to impose restric=
tions on the data elements that comprise a given instance of "directory ser=
vice data".

(So IMO it would be perfectly appropriate to have several data models/defin=
itions).

         correlation while evaluating the trustworthiness of the

         content evaluation, web site security, etc.  The subset will
         typically include creation/registration dates, assigned
         nameserver names and IP addresses, registrar ID and registrant
         ID.  Users in this class would be required to authenticate in
         some way, but such clients would not typically be subjected to
         rate limiting given the prior arrangement.

      law enforcement:  Users with a bona fide interest in as much
         registration data, including change history, as is available.
         Typically, queries would be rare but have extremely high

         authentication and probably also require encryption.

This would mean the protocol has to support client authentication, integrit=

and transport confidentiality and in the end also data origin authenticatio=
n.
The protocol should support combinations thereof, but i'd rather not
encode different classes of access a priori.

A question here. Is it the protocol or the framework that has to support th=
ese facilities/services? For example, I could envision "XML over HTTPS" cou=
ld satisfy encryption and server authentication, and where different servic=
e providers could employ  subauthentication methods common to SSL as they c=
hoose (much as people use SSL today to support "extranets" and "intranets")=
. Am I thinking outside the parameters here?

I think you're well within the parameters of a reasonable discussion on the=

(rough) Uniformity in the model and presentation of WHOIS data would be a r=
efreshing change from a number of perspectives.

As for transport, I'd suggest that any forward-looking "protocol" be transp=

When it comes to authentication, I'm less sanguine about our ability to com=

Share the user perspective frequently:-)

Here, I think you mean that the framework should separate data from transpo=
rt, and that the framework should accommodate any protocol that satisfies t=
he transport service requirements (Sorry to sound so "OSI" about this).

Defining authentication methods that prove operationally feasible at Intern=
et scale represents one end of the design spectrum and yes, we don't know h=
ow to do that today. Defining a framework that accommodates the selected us=
e of authentication, even if it is for specific access controlled circumsta=
nces of a much smaller scale, seems to be useful (and not merely an exercis=
e).

Andy also noted that ARIN's perspective is that when they impl'd their restful 
service and deployed it, they realized it could change, and so "..as long as 
things don't go completely off the rails [with something even newer], we're good."

   Also, their approach is somewhat different than ARIN's.

[ RWS == "Restful Web Service" ? ]

See..

   A RESTful Web Service for Domain Name Registration Data (RWS-DNRD)

For example, I could envision "XML over HTTPS" could satisfy encryption and server authentication, and where different service providers could employ  subauthentication methods common to SSL as they choose (much as people use SSL today to support "extranets" and "intranets"). Am I thinking outside the parameters here?

you may just have read "protocol" more strict than i had intended.  I hadn't implied that
that happen at the transport level, but no matter where, the WHOISng (if any) would have
to define the bindings and semantics.  This is probably already to far in the detail for
the first round of requirements.

We could probably short circuit the need to make these types of requirement=
s by stating that this will be a REST system using HTTP, and the base of su=
ch features are already found in HTTP. In my experience with ARIN's Whois-R=
WS, there is only one such feature not present in HTTP that needed to be pl=
aced at another layer, which was specifying that a result set had been limi=
ted in size. If you look at the IRIS stack, you'll find that many of the fe=
atures in the "IRIS" layer already exist in HTTP. This is one of the reason=
s why re-use of HTTP is so compelling and implementing IRIS is a bit more o=
f a hill to climb.
