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.

Minutes for CRISP, IETF 56 Wednesday, March 19, 2003 Reported by: Cathy Murphy Chairs: Ted Hardie & April Marine Proposed Agenda: Agenda Bashing Review output from working group last call of requirements draft. Andy Newton Review of method for selecting protocol Chairs Call for volunteers for specific evaluation elements Chairs All other business Leslie Daigle to present "IRIS light"; a non-working group item. Actions: Agenda Accepted New Chair (April Marine) introduced New Area Advisor (Ned Freed) introduced Thanks presented to outgoing Area Advisor (Patrik Falstrom) Andy Newton will present a revised Requirements document by April 15, 2003 Subject to mailing list approval, the group agreed that protocol evaluation will proceed as a staged knock-out, first evaluating for protocol requirements, then for service requirements if no candidate is knocked out in the first evalution. To make visible these evaluations, Andy Newton agreed to develop a proposed matrix of the MUST, SHOULD, MAY, requirements. Rick Wesson agreed to maintain the matrix once it has been approved. Subject to mailing list approval, the protocol proposers will do the initial population of the matrix for their protocols. These will then be reviewed by the mailing list. Initial stuckees for the review are: LDAP Matrix Review: Peter Gietz, Richard Shockey IRIS Matrix Review: Ed Lewis, Scott Hollenbeck Chairs called for volunteers for additional reviewers; the new deadline will be the matrix being completed and reviewed prior to VIenna. After a conversation on bags, Rick Wesson agreed to formulate a set of concerns and send to the list. IRIS Light was then presented as an informative reference for the group. |
