Overview

WHY IS THE RDE PROGRAM BEING IMPLEMENTED?

If a problem ever occurs with an ICANN-accredited registrar, ICANN needs to know that a copy of the domain name registration information held by that registrar is protected. There are cases, such as if a registrar’s ICANN-accredited status is terminated, that ICANN may have to step in and take measures to transfer those domain names to another registrar. With this data in an escrow account held by a neutral third party, the domain name information is protected and secured.


HEXONET's RegistrarOC and RDE

HEXONET can optionally handle the complete RDE transmission with IronMountain for all registrar account managed by RegistrarOC.

Domain Data File

The domain data file is generated as described in the RDE specification in chapter 4.1.2. The syntax of the CSV file is as followed:

domain,expiration_date,nameservers,holder_contact,admin_contact,tech_contact,billing_contact
hexonet.com,2009-08-29 00:00:00,ns1.hexonet.net ns2.hexonet.net ns3.hexonet.net,P-ABC123,P-ABC123,P-ABC123,P-ABC123

...


Contact Data File

HEXONET is using its own (meta) contact handles. That's why the contact data is transmitted as own data file as proposed in the RDE specification in chapter 4.1.9. The syntax of the CSV file is as followed:

contact,name,organization,street,city,state,zip,country,phone,fax
P-ABC123,Max Mustermann,Testorganization,Teststreet 1,Testcity,Teststate,11111,DE,+4901111112,+4901111113
P-ABC456,Michael Mustermann,Testorganization Ltd.,Teststreet 1,Testcity,Teststate,22222,DE,+4901111114,+4901111115
...


Hash Data File

There is Hash Data File with two entries: one for the Domain Data File and one for the Contact Data File. Details can be found in the RDE specification in chapter 4.1.18.

An example for the content of such a Hash Data File is below:
