Abstract

   Domain Name Registries (DNRs) may operate in special modes for
   certain periods of time enabling trademark holders to protect their
   rights during the introduction of a Top Level Domain (TLD).

   One of those special modes of operation is the Sunrise Period.  The
   Sunrise Period allows trademark holders an advance opportunity to
   register domain names corresponding to their trademarks before names
   are generally available to the public.

   This document describes the format of a mark and a digitally signed
   mark used by trademark holders for registering domain names during
   the sunrise phase of generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs).  Three types
   of mark objects are defined in this specification: registered
   trademarks, court-validated marks, and marks protected by statue or
   treaty.

1.  Introduction

   Domain Name Registries (DNRs) may operate in special modes for
   certain periods of time enabling trademark holders to protect their
   rights during the introduction of a Top Level Domain (TLD).

   One of those special modes of operation is the Sunrise Period.  The
   Sunrise Period allows trademark holders an advance opportunity to
   register domain names corresponding to their trademarks before names
   are generally available to the public.

   This specification was defined as part of the development of the
   ICANN Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).  The ICANN TMCH is a global
   repository for trademark data used by DNRs, registrars and trademark
   holders during the registration process of domain names.

   This document describes a mapping of the common elements found in
   trademark data.  A digitally signed mark format is defined in order
   to support digital signatures on the mark.  Finally a mapping for
   encoding the signed mark document is defined.

   Three types of mark objects are defined in this specification:
   registered trademarks, court-validated marks, and marks protected by
   statue or treaty.

   This specification is intended to be used in the gTLD space, but
   nothing precludes the use of this format by other entities.

   The detailed policy regarding the public key infrastructure (PKI),
   authorized validators, and other requirements must be defined based
   on the local policy of the entities using this specification.  In the
   case of gTLDs, the detailed policy regarding the use of this
   specification is defined in the Rights Protection Mechanism
   Requirements document (see [ICANN-TMCH]), and the PKI is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-eppext-tmch-func-spec].  Implementations will need to
   implement such a PKI (or an equivalent) in order for the signatures
   defined in this document to have any useful semantics.

   The objects specified in this document can be referenced by
   application protocols like the Extensible Provisioning Protocol
   (EPP), defined in [RFC5730].

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   XML (EXtensible Markup Language) is case sensitive.  Unless stated
   otherwise, XML specifications and examples provided in this document
   MUST be interpreted in the character case presented in order to
   develop a conforming implementation.

   "signedMark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0".  The XML namespace prefix
   "smd" is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead
   employ a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to
   interpret and output the XML documents.

   "mark-1.0" is used as an abbreviation for
   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0".  The XML namespace prefix "mark"
   is used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ
   a proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and
   output the XML documents.

2.  Object Description

   This section defines the Mark and Signed Mark objects.  Empty complex
   element types and abstract elements are defined to support additional
   Mark and Signed Mark definitions using XML schema substitution
   groups.  Support for replacement through the XML schema substitution
   groups is included in the description of the objects.

   This section defines some elements as OPTIONAL.  If an elements is
   not defined as OPTIONAL, then it MUST be included in the object.

   The following elements are defined as telephone numbers:
   <mark:voice>, <mark:fax> and <smd:voice>.  The representation of
   telephone numbers in this specification is derived from structures
   defined in [ITU.E164.2005].  Telephone numbers described in this
   mapping are character strings that MUST begin with a plus sign ("+",
   ASCII value 0x002B), followed by a country code defined in
   [ITU.E164.2005], followed by a dot (".", ASCII value 0x002E),
   followed by a sequence of digits representing the telephone number.
   An optional "x" attribute is provided to note telephone extension
   information.

   The following elements are defined as email addresses: <mark:email>
   and <smd:email>.  Email address syntax is defined in [RFC5322].

2.1.  Holder and Contacts objects

   Marks are linked to Holder objects and optionally linked to Contact
   objects.  This section defines the <mark:holder> and <mark:contact>
   objects.

2.3.  Signed Mark

   The <smd:signedMark> is a digitally signed XML document using XML
   Signature [XMLDSIG].  The <smd:signedMark> XML document (SMD)
   includes a required "id" attribute of type XSD ID for use with an
   IDREF URI from the Signature element.  The SMD might be transmitted
   as part of an already XML based protocol, therefore exclusive XML
   canonicalization as defined in [XMLC14N] MUST be used.

   A <smd:signedMark> element substitutes for the
   <smd:abstractSignedMark> abstract element to define a concrete
   definition of a signed mark.  The <smd:abstractSignedMark> element

Internet-Draft            Mark and Signed Mark                March 2016


   can be replaced by other signed mark definitions using the XML schema
   substitution groups feature.

   The child elements of the <smd:signedMark> element include:

   o  The <smd:id> that uniquely identifies an SMD in relation to a
      repository of SMDs potentially maintained by more than one issuer.
      The <smd:id> value is a concatenation of the local identifier,
      followed by a hyphen ("-", ASCII value 0x002D), followed by the
      issuer identifier.

   o  A <smd:issuerInfo> element that contains the information of the
      issuer of the mark registration.  A "issuerID" attribute is used
      to specify the issuer identifier.  The child elements include:

      *  A <smd:org> element that contains the organization name of the
         issuer.

      *  A <smd:email> element that contains the issuer customer support
         email address.

      *  An OPTIONAL <smd:url> element that contains the HTTP or HTTPS
         URL of the issuer's site.

      *  An OPTIONAL <smd:voice> element that contains the issuer's
         voice telephone number.

   o  A <smd:notBefore> element that contains the creation date and time
      of the SMD.

   o  A <smd:notAfter> element that contains the expiration date and
      time of the SMD.

   o  A <mark:mark> element that contains the mark information as
      defined in the Mark (Section 2.2) section.

   The following is an example of an SMD:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <smd:signedMark xmlns:smd="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0"
 id="smd1">

   NOTE: The example shown above includes white-spaces for indentation
   purposes.  It is RECOMMENDED that SMDs do not include white-spaces
   between the XML elements, in order to mitigate risks of invalidating
   the digital signature when transferring of SMDs between applications
   takes place.

2.4.  Encoded Signed Mark

   The <smd:encodedSignedMark> element contains an encoded form of an
   SMD (described in Section 2.3), with the encoding defined by the
   "encoding" attribute with the default "encoding" value of "base64"
   [RFC4648].

   The following is an example of a <smd:encodedSignedMark> element that
   uses the default "base64" for encoding a <smd:signedMark> element.

 <smd:encodedSignedMark
    xmlns:smd="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0">
 PD94bWwgdmVyc2lvbj0iMS4wIiBlbmNvZGluZz0iVVRGLTgiPz4KPHNtZDpzaWduZWRNYXJ
 rIHhtbG5zOnNtZD0idXJuOmlldGY6cGFyYW1zOnhtbDpuczpzaWduZWRNYXJrLTEuMCIgaW
 ... (base64 data elided for brevity) ...
 PC9zbWQ6c2lnbmVkTWFyaz4=
 </smd:encodedSignedMark>

3.  Formal Syntax

   Two schemas are presented here.  The first schema is the schema for
   the signed mark.  The second schema is the schema for the mark.

   The formal syntax presented here is a complete schema representation
   of the object mapping suitable for automated validation of EPP XML
   instances.  The BEGIN and END tags are not part of the schema; they
   are used to note the beginning and ending of the schema for URI
   registration purposes.

4.  Implementation Status

   Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to
   RFC 6982 [RFC6982] before publication.

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   format defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in RFC 6982
   [RFC6982].  The description of implementations in this section is
   intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing
   drafts to RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual
   implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.
   Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information
   presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not
   intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available
   implementations or their features.  Readers are advised to note that
   other implementations may exist.

   According to RFC 6982 [RFC6982], "this will allow reviewers and
   working groups to assign due consideration to documents that have the
   benefit of running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable
   experimentation and feedback that have made the implemented protocols
   more mature.  It is up to the individual working groups to use this
   information as they see fit".

5.  Acknowledgements

   Special thanks to Chris Wright for creating the first prototype of a
   SMD; James Gould, Wil Tan and Gavin Brown for creating the mark and
   SMD definitions in their EPP draft launch extension on which this
   draft is based.  Portions of the security section were shamefully
   copied from RFC5105.  The author would like to acknowledge the
   following individuals for their contributions to this document: Scott
   Hollenbeck and Jan Jansen.

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document uses URNs to describe XML namespaces and XML schemas
   conforming to a registry mechanism described in [RFC3688].  Two URI
   assignments have been registered by the IANA.

   Registration request for the signed mark namespace:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:signedMark-1.0

      Registrant Contact: IESG

      XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

   Registration request for the signed mark schema:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:signedMark-1.0

      Registrant Contact: IESG

      XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

   Registration request for the mark namespace:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:mark-1.0

      Registrant Contact: IESG

      XML: None.  Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.

   Registration request for the mark schema:

      URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:mark-1.0

      Registrant Contact: IESG

      XML: See the "Formal Syntax" section of this document.

7.  Security Considerations

   The security of a Signed Mark object depends on the security of the
   underlying XML DSIG algorithms.  As such, all the security
   considerations from [XMLDSIG] apply here as well.

   The digital signature algorithm used in Signed Mark objects SHOULD be
   RSA-SHA256 [RFC4051].  The size of the RSA key SHOULD be at least
   2048 bits.  A valid reason for choosing something else would be if
   RSA-SHA256 would be deemed to not provide sufficient security.

   In the case of the ICANN Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), Signed Mark
   objects use the algorithms for digesting and signing recommended in
   this document.

   Signed Marks are used primarily for sunrise domain name registrations
   in gTLDs, but other third parties might be using them.  A party using
   Signed Marks should verify that the digital signature is valid based
   on local policy.  In the case of gTLDs, the RPM Requirements document
   [ICANN-TMCH] defines such policy, and the PKI is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-eppext-tmch-func-spec].  Implementations will need to
   implement such a PKI (or an equivalent) in order for the signatures
   defined in this document to have any useful semantics.
