A new IETF working group has been proposed in the Applications Area. The IESG has not made any determination as yet. The following Description was submitted, and is provided for informational purposes only: Cross Registry Information Service Protocol (crisp) --------------------------------------------------- Current Status: Proposed Working Group Description of Working Group: In the standard operation of Internet systems, various labels and data are managed globally -- domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, etc. From time to time, for operational and administrative purposes, users of the Internet need to be able to find and access registered information associated with those labels. The CRISP (Cross-Registry Information Service Protocol) WG will define a standard mechanism that can be used for finding authoritative information associated with a label, a protocol to transport queries and responses for accessing that information, and a first profile (schema & queries) to support commonly-required queries for domain registration information. Backwards compatibility with existing administrative directory services such as WHOIS is not a goal of this effort. Provisioning of data into registry or registrar systems is likewise out of scope -- CRISP provides a uniform access to and view of data that may be held in disparate backend servers. While the framework created will hopefully be sufficiently flexible to allow re-use by other registries/services with related design criteria, those uses will be deferred to the creation of appropriate schema & query profiles at some future date. The CRISP service definition will define: o a standard mechanism that can be used to determine the authoritative server(s) for information about a given label o a single mandatory to implement protocol for transporting application queries and responses, including o expression of input query o expression of result sets o standard expression of error conditions o authentication and verification of data integrity o specific data types and queries to be supported in the first supported registry service: a global service for domain registration information access Deliverables: o Finalized requirements document for the CRISP service o Document specifying a new protocol, or the use of an existing one, for providing CRISP service (application transport). o Document specifying required schema elements and queries for domain registration administrative directory queries.
