Hi Peter,

Please find attached the updated document. For ease of review below are the additions made.

Syntax:

  urn:gdr:params:xml:ns:<extension>, where <extension> is the EPP command
  extension. Some examples include but not limited to:
  * <variant>: managing variants of internationalized domain names
  * <kvlist>: supplying a key value list to represent additional domain name
  registration details
  All extensions extend the base EPP commands described in RFC5730.
  All extensions will be in US 7bit ASCII and not exceed 32 characters.

Assignment:

  Assignment is self assigned by GoDaddy Registry. These extensions will work
  only when used directly with the GoDaddy Registry Domain Name Registry
  System. Each extension will be unique and provide its own distinct
  functionality. Although there cannot be a guarantee that the extension is
  unique across other namespaces, GoDaddy Registry will put in best efforts
  to develop unique extensions from within its own namespace and others.

Regards
Quoc

Hi Quoc, Thank you for the updated registration request. I have two comments: (1) In the "Syntax" section, please specify the syntax of the <extension> construct. What is the length, can it contain non-ASCII characters (suitably escaped),

Hi Quoc,



Thank you for the updated registration request.



I have two comments:



(1) In the "Syntax" section, please specify the syntax of the

<extension> construct. What is the length, can it contain non-ASCII

characters (suitably escaped), does it conform to one of the ABNF rules

from RFC 8141 or RFC 3986, etc.?



(2) In the "Assignment" section, it would be nice to say something about

guaranteeing uniqueness (presumably the GoDaddy Registry will make sure

that <extension> constructs are unique).



Everything else looks good to me. Thanks for your flexibility about the

namespace ID.



Peter



P.S. For ease of reference, I've pasted the registration request below.

Namespace Registration for GoDaddy Registry EPP Extensions



Namespace Identifier:



   gdr



Version:



   1.0



Date:



   2026-01-13



Registrant:



   GoDaddy Registry.

   Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

   Address: 100 S. Mill Ave, Suite 1600,

   Tempe, Arizona, 85281, USA

   Web URL: https://registry.godaddy/



Purpose:



   GoDaddy Registry is a Registry Service Provider (RSP) for Generic Top

Level

   Domains (gTLDs) and Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs). Certain

TLDs

   have specific and special requirements where the standard Extensible

   Provisioning protocol (EPP) RFCs related

   are unable to satisfy. GoDaddy Registry enables these requirements to be

   supported by developing extensions that can be used by Registrars to

   facilitate the exchange of data between the Registrar and Registry in

   support of these requirements.



Syntax:



   urn:gdr:params:xml:ns:<extension>, where <extension> is the EPP command

   extension. Some examples include but not limited to:

   * <variant>: managing variants of internationalized domain names

   * <kvlist>: supplying a key value list to represent additional domain

name

   registration details

   All extensions extend the base EPP commands described in RFC5730.



Assignment:



   Assignment is self assigned by GoDaddy Registry. These extensions

will work

   only when used directly with the GoDaddy Registry Domain Name Registry

   System.



Security and Privacy:

   There are no additional security considerations beyond the security model

   described in RFC5730 defining the security gates with operating an EPP

   service for Registrar to Registry communication.



Interoperability:



   The "gdr" namespace ensures that there is no clash with any of the

published

   EPP RFCs extenions which follow the syntax

   "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:<extension>".
