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 which the standard
  Extensible Provisioning protocol (EPP) RFCs are unable to satisfy.
  GoDaddy Registry enables these requirements to be supported through
  the development of extensions that can be used by Registrars to
  facilitate the exchange of data between Registrar and Registry.
 
Syntax:
 
  urn:gdr:params:xml:ns:<extension>, where <extension> is the EPP
  command extension. Some examples include but are 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 RFC 5730,
  according to the following syntax:

  extension = 1*( ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~")
 
Assignment:

  Extensions are self-assigned by GoDaddy Registry. These extensions
  are designed to work only when used directly with the GoDaddy 
  Registry Domain Name Registry System. Each extension will be unique 
  and provide its own distinct functionality.

Security and Privacy:

  There are no additional security considerations beyond the security
  model described in RFC 5730 defining the security gates with operating
  an EPP service for Registrar to Registry communication.

Interoperability:

  Using the "gdr" namespace to name the GoDaddy EPP extensions ensures
  that they do not clash with any EPP extensions defined by other
  organizations.

Resolution:

  It is not foreseen that URNs within this namespace will undergo
  resolution and GoDaddy Registry does not plan to operate any
  resolution services for "gdr" URNs.
