The RESTful Provisioning Protocol (RPP) is a proposed series of IETF specifications aimed at a modern, web-native protocol for provisioning domain names, hosts, and contacts via HTTPS and JSON. It is designed as a RESTful alternative to the XML-based Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), leveraging common web tools like OpenAPI, API gateways, and RESTful principles to improve scalability and integration.
History
- November 2023: RPP concept introduced at IETF 118 in Prague[1], initially presented to REGEXT WG.
- September 2024: BOF proposal approved[2].
- February 2025: IESG formally approves the RPP charter; WG officially formed.
- March 2025: First WG meeting and hackathon held during IETF 122 in Bangkok.
