This document describes an Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
extension mapping for the management of Domain Name System (DNS)
domain names subject to "grace period" policies defined by the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).  Grace
period policies exist to allow protocol actions to be reversed or
otherwise revoked during a short period of time after the protocol
action has been performed.  Specified in XML, this mapping extends
the EPP domain name mapping to provide additional features required
for grace period processing.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
