1. Introduction
Modern top-level domain registries provide many detailed reports and
documents that their registrars require on a daily, weekly and
monthly basis. These most commonly include transaction reports, as
well as lists containing currently unavailable domains and current
premium domain fees. These reports are critical for registrars'
businesses and play an important role in accounting and operations
processes as well as in sales and marketing activities. In the
current set-up, registrars must download these reports from each
registry's intranet differently according to each registry's document
management set up.
A domain inventory comparison between the domains that are on an
accreditation/account and the domain names that a registrar/reseller
has in its system is therefore useful.
This document describes the content of a Domain Inventory Report
based on the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure] and delivered
by the [I-D.mcpherson-sattler-reporting-repository].
2. Terminology and Definitions
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 [RFC2119] when
specified in their uppercase forms.

Internet-Draft Domain Inventory Report October 2019
2.1. Internationalized Domain Names
MUST be as defined in
[I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure].
2.2. Character Encoding
MUST be as defined in
[I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure].
2.3. Dates and Times
MUST be as defined in
[I-D.mcpherson-sattler-report-structure].
3. Report Headings
The first row MUST be the column headings in the following order:
TLD It MUST contain the top-level domain name and
formatted according to section 2.1 of this
document.
DOMAIN It MUST contain the domain name formatted according
to section 2.1 of this document.
UPDATED It MUST contain the date and time of the most
recent domain-object modification. If the domain
object has never been modified, then the date and
time of domain-object creation have to be used.
Formatting in both cases according to section 2.3
of this document.
ID It MUST contain a unique ID according to section 4
of this document.
4. Unique ID
A unique ID MUST either be according to the IANA registrar IDs
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/registrar-ids/registrar-ids.xhtml)
where applicable or another unique registrar or reseller ID MUST be
used.
5. Examples

6. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
7. Security Considerations
The Domain Inventory Report described in this document does not
provide any security services.
8. Implementation Status
Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to
[RFC7942] before publication.
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
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 [RFC7942], "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".
