[gtld-tech] Registrar Expiration Date I-D

Here’s a problem that raises the issue of whether date data from the registrar should be preserved (at least for a time) in a thin-to-thick registry migration.
Some registrars have dates that are out of synch with the Verisign registry. The registry dates should be authoritative. But when data’s out of synch it creates questions and problems for registrants. (Like, “My registrar told me my domain doesn’t expire for another week – what do you mean it expired three days ago?”)
Here’s a real-life example, where NONE of the dates match:
VERISIGN WHOIS SEZ:
Domain Name: DIRECTNIC.COM
Updated Date: 03-sep-2014
Creation Date: 09-feb-2000
Expiration Date: 09-feb-2017
The REGISTRAR WHOIS SEZ:
Domain Name: DIRECTNIC.COM
Updated Date: 2015-05-26T07:01:01-05:00
Creation Date: 2000-05-25T05:45:12-05:00
Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2016-05-25T05:45:12-05:00
All best,

Subject: Re: [gtld-tech] Registrar Expiration Date I-D
I thought that in the thick model, the Registry was the only authoritative source for the expiration date of the domain name.
The documents linked there don’t provide an explanation on why the ‘registrar expiration date’, is needed at the registry level, they seem to focus on when but not on the why.
Can we just simply say that the Registrar Expiration Date Is not applicable at the registry level?
I’m just envisioning here having to implement yet-another-extension, and then try to get all RARs to update the information before a deadline, etc.
Can someone please clarify what it is that we’re trying to achieve here?
Thanks!

Hi Ben and Michele,
The requirement has been discussed in the context of the Thick Whois Policy implementation. Please see https://whois.icann.org/sites/default/files/files/thick-rdds-consensus-policy-draft-25nov15-en.pdf, particularly section 2.1, starting on page 8. By the way, this document is in public comment at https://www.icann.org/public-comments/rdds-output-2015-12-03-en until 31 January.

Francisco,
I don't see any explanation for making registries store and publish the "Registrar Registration Expiration Date" in the "ICANN Thick Whois Policy Recommendation". What is the use case we are trying to solve for?

Hello colleagues,
I uploaded an I-D
(http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-lozano-ietf-eppext-registrar-expiration-date-
00.txt) in order to define an EPP extension to support the transmission of
the registrar registration expiration date from the registrar to the
registry.
This extension is defined in order to support the ICANN Thick Whois Policy
Recommendation
(http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/whois/thick-final-21oct13-en.pdf) that
requires gTLD domain name registries to display the registrar registration
expiration date in the Registration Data Directory Service (e.g. Whois,
RDAP).
Your feedback is appreciated.
Regards,
Gustavo
