Hi Ben and Michele, The requirement has been discussed in the context of the Thick Whois Policy implementation. Please see https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/thick-rdds-consensus-polic..., particularly section 2.1, starting on page 8. By the way, this document is in public comment at https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rdds-output-2015-12-03-en until 31 January.

What is the use case we are trying to solve for?

Hello colleagues,
I uploaded an I-D (http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-lozano-ietf-eppext-registrar-expiration-date- 00.txt) in order to define an EPP extension to support the transmission of the registrar registration expiration date from the registrar to the registry.
This extension is defined in order to support the ICANN Thick Whois Policy Recommendation (http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf) that requires gTLD domain name registries to display the registrar registration expiration date in the Registration Data Directory Service (e.g. Whois, RDAP).
Your feedback is appreciated.
Regards, Gustavo
