Introduction Generic TLDs (gTLDs) Domain Name Registries and Registrars operating according to an agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which includes a clause to implement a successor protocol to WHOIS [RFC3912], are required to deploy the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) described in RFCs 7480-7484. Registries and registrars are required to provide at least the same fields as in the Whois service. Registrars operating according to the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement 2013 (see [RAA2013] are required to provide the "Registrar Registration Expiration Date" that shows the expiration date of the domain name within the registrar system. There is no event action defined in the RDAP base RFCs that could be used to map this field. Registries and registrars regularly use a database (i.e. RDDS database) synchronized from the Shared Registry System (SRS) database to provide the Registration Data Directory Services (e.g. WHOIS and RDAP). Registries operating according to an ICANN Base Registry Agreement (see [Base_RA]), Registrars operating under the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement 2013 (see [RAA2013], and Registries operating according to other ICANN Registry Agreements are required to provide the date and time that the object instance in the RDDS database was last synchronized from the SRS database. There is no event action defined in the RDAP base RFCs that could be used to map this field. This document adds two event action types to the IANA RDAP JSON Values registry, defined in [RFC7483], which are required to map two fields from the gTLD Whois output into the RDAP response.

Event Actions registration The following values have been registered in the IANA RDAP JSON Values registry: Value: last update of RDAP database Type: event action Description: An action noting when the information in the object instance in the RDAP database was last synchronized from the authoritative database (e.g. registry database). Registrant Name: ICANN Registrant Contact Information: tech-services@icann.org Value: registrar expiration Type: event action Description: An action noting the expiration date of the object in the registrar system. Registrant Name: ICANN Registrant Contact Information: tech-services@icann.org 3. Acknowledgements TBD. 4. IANA Considerations This document adds two event action types to the IANA RDAP JSON Values registry, the description of the event types can be found in Section 2. 5. Security Considerations This document adds two event action types to the IANA RDAP JSON Values registry. No additional security considerations are required. 6. References 6.1.
