RDAP Bootstrap Mechanism for EPP Repository Identifiers?
Hi, I just wondered whether an RDAP Bootstrap Service Registry is planned for EPP Repository Identifiers[1], i.e. for ROID suffixes, similar to the Bootstrap Service Registry for Domain Name Space[2] – or, if more appropriate, a generalized approach to include entities from address registries as well. This would allow RDAP clients to look up a given entity handle without prior knowledge to which registry it belongs. Or do I miss existing functionality?

Not that this cannot be done with some coordination from ICANN, but the IETF decided not to do this with respect to entity handles. That said, on the RIR side of things we do have an informal namespacing mechanism for entity handles and our RDAP bootstrap server does attempt to redirect queries to the appropriate place. -andy On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 9:17 AM, Klaus Malorny <Klaus.Malorny@knipp.de> wrote:

But my recollection, at least, was that the IETF decided not to do it because there wasn't much interest. If now there is interest, that might change things. A -- Andrew Sullivan Dyn asullivan@dyn.com

From my perspective, there is no ultimate need for this, but it may easily be that I miss valid use cases. OTOH, what is the purpose of the enforcement of unique ROIDs and the IANA registry for the suffixes then? Do the NSA and FBI need them? Regards, Klaus

I can't speak for the domain space, but in the RIR world some people tend to memorize their organization and contact ids. Some, but certainly not all.

If registry .bar and registry .baz both formulate the ROID "foo", then foo.bar and foo.baz could be used to distinguish who has what. -andy
