Appendix
1 to Sponsored TLD Registry Agreement
Data
Escrow Specification
This
Appendix 1 to the Sponsored TLD Registry Agreement consists of four
of the five exhibits to the Escrow Agreement that constitutes
Appendix 2 to the Sponsored TLD Registry Agreement:
Exhibit
A-Schedule for Escrow Deposits
Exhibit
B-Escrow Deposit Format Specification
Exhibit
C-Escrow Transfer Process
Exhibit
D-Escrow Verification Procedures
The
fifth exhibit (Exhibit E), which sets forth Escrow Agent's fees, is
subject to negotiation between Registry and Escrow Agent.
Exhibit A
SCHEDULE FOR ESCROW
DEPOSITS
Full
Deposit Schedule
Full
Deposits shall consist of data that reflects the state of the
registry as of 0000 UTC on each Sunday. Pending transactions at that
time (i.e. transactions that have not been committed to the Registry
Database) shall not be reflected in the Full Deposit.
Full
Deposits shall be made, according to the transfer process described
in Exhibit C below, within a four-hour window beginning at 1200 UTC
on the same Sunday.
Incremental
Deposit Schedule
Incremental
Deposits are cumulative since the last full escrow. Each incremental
file will contain all database transactions since the full escrow
file was completed.
Incremental
Deposits shall be made, according to the transfer process described
in Exhibit C below, within a four-hour window beginning at 1200 UTC
on the day to which the Incremental Deposit relates.
Exhibit B
ESCROW DEPOSIT FORMAT
SPECIFICATION
Each
Full and Incremental Deposit consists of a series of reports that are
concatenated in the escrow process.
Full Deposit Contents. The
reports involved in a Full Deposit are:
Domain
Object Report—This reports on the contents of all domain objects in
the registry database.
Host
Object Report—This reports on the contents of all host objects in
the registry database.
Contact
Object Report—This reports on the contents of all contact objects
in the registry database.
Registrar
Object Report—This reports on the contents of all registrar objects
in the registry database.
Format of Reports. All reports
are to be formatted in XML format. In compliance with the XML 1.0
specification, certain characters in the data must be escaped, as
described in item 1 below. Each Report shall then be prepared
according to the general XML format described in items 2 to 6 below.
Item 2 describes the report container that is common to all reports.
Items 3 to 6 describe the structure of the contents of the report
container for each of the specific reports.
1. Escape-Character Requirements.
In compliance with the XML 1.0 specification, in data escrowed using
the XML format the following characters in any data elements must be
replaced with the corresponding escape sequences listed here:

2. The Report Container. At its
highest level, the XML format consists of an escrow container with
header attributes followed by escrow data. The header attributes are
required and include the version of escrow (1.0), the Sponsored TLD
("travel"), the report type (domain, host, contact or
registrar), and data base-committed date and time as to which the
escrow relates. The date and time of the escrow will be specified in
UTC. The general format of the report container is as follows:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE escrow
SYSTEM "whois-export.dtd" >
<escrow version="1.0"
tld="travel" report="domain" date="26-Aug-2001
3:15:00AM">
{Here
the report contains the actual data being escrowed. It contains one
element for each object of the type (domain, host, contact or
registrar) covered by the report. The specific format for each report
is described in items 3 to 6 below.}

Exhibit C
ESCROW TRANSFER
PROCESS
Deposit
Transfer Process. Registry Operator shall prepare and transfer
the Deposit file by the following steps, in sequence:
1.
The Reports making up the Deposit will first be created according to
the format specification. (See Exhibit B above, "Escrow Deposit
Format Specification").
2.
The Reports making up the Deposit will be concatenated. The resulting
file shall be named according to the following format: "aeroSEQN",
where "SEQN" is a four digit decimal number that is
incremented as each report is prepared.
3.
Next, the Deposit file will be processed by a program (provided by
ICANN) that will verify that it complies with the format
specification and contains reports of the same date/time (for a Full
Deposit), count the number of objects of the various types in the
Deposit, and append to the file a report of the program's results.
4.
Registry Operator may optionally split the resulting file using the
Unix SPLIT command (or equivalent) to produce files no less than 1 GB
each (except the final file). If Deposit files are split, a .MDS file
(produced with MDSSUM or equivalent) must be included with the split
files to isolate errors in case of transfer fault.
5.
The Deposit file(s) will then be encrypted using Escrow Agent's
public key for PGP and signed using Registry Operator's private key
for PGP, both version 6.5.1 or above, with a key of DH/DSS type and
2048/1024-byte length. (Note that PGP compresses the Deposit file(s)
in addition to encrypting it (them).)
The
formatted, encrypted and signed Deposit file(s) will be sent, by
anonymous file transfer, to Escrow Agent's ftp server within the
specified time window.
Exhibit D
ESCROW VERIFICATION
PROCEDURES
Verification
Procedures. Escrow Agent will verify the format and completeness
of each Deposit by the following steps:
1.
At the conclusion of the deposit window, all Deposit files will be
moved to a not-publicly-accessible directory and the existence and
size of each will be noted.
2.
Each Deposit file will be decrypted using Escrow Agent's private key
for PGP and authenticated using Registry Operator's public key for
PGP. (In this step, PGP will also automatically decompress the escrow
file).
3.
If there are multiple files, they will be concatenated in sequence.
4.
Escrow Agent will run a program (to be supplied by ICANN) on the
Deposit file (without report) that will split it in to its
constituent reports (including the format report prepared by the
Registry Operator and appended to the Deposit) check its format,
count the number of objects of each type, and verify that the data
set is internally consistent. This program will compare its results
with the results of the Registry-generated format report, and will
generate a Deposit format and completeness report. The program will
encrypt the report using ICANN's public key for PGP and signed using
Escrow Agent's private key for PGP, both versions 6.5.1 or above,
with a key of DH/DSS type and 2048/1024-byte length. (Note that PGP
compresses the Deposit file(s) in addition to encrypting it (them).)
5.
The decrypted Deposit file will be destroyed to reduce likelihood of
data loss to intruders in case of partial security failure.
Distribution
Of Public Keys. Each of Registry Operator and Escrow Agent will
distribute its public key to the other party (Registry Operator or
Escrow Agent, as the case may be) via email to an email address to be
specified. Each party will confirm receipt of the other party's
public key with a reply email, and the distributing party will
subsequently reconfirm the authenticity of the key transmitted. In
this way, public key transmission is authenticated to a user able to
send and receive mail via a mail server operated by the distributing
party. Escrow Agent, Registry and ICANN shall exchange keys by the
same procedure.
