Editing Extensible Provisioning Protocol (section)

== History ==
The first protocol drafts were published as [[IETF]] individual submission [[Internet Draft]] documents by Scott Hollenbeck of [[Verisign]] in November 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hollenbeck |first=S. |title=Extensible Provisioning Protocol |language=en |work=IETF Datatracker |url=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-hollenbeck-epp-00 |date=2001-05-01 |access-date=2023-03-13}}</ref> The individual submission documents were adopted by the [[IETF]] ''Provisioning Registry'' (''provreg'') [[working group]], which was created after a [[Birds of a feather (computing)|BoF]] session was held at IETF-49 in December 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=IETF December 2000 Proceedings |url=https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/49/00dec-36.htm#P5400_260270 |access-date=2023-03-13 |website=www.ietf.org}}</ref> Proposed Standard documents (RFCs 3730 - 3734) were published by the [[RFC Editor]] in March 2004.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hollenbeck |first=S. |date=March 2004 |title=Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) |url=https://doi.org/10.17487/RFC3730 |language=en |doi=10.17487/RFC3730 |issn=2070-1721 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Draft Standard documents (RFCs 4930 - 4934) were published in May 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hollenbeck |first=S. |date=May 2007 |title=Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) |url=https://doi.org/10.17487/RFC4930 |language=en |doi=10.17487/RFC4930 |issn=2070-1721 |doi-access=free }}</ref> 

In August 2009, IETF granted EPP the status of full standard as STD 69.<ref name=":11">{{Cite web |last=Hollenbeck |first=S. |date=August 2009 |title=Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) |url=https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/std69 |language=en}}</ref>

The first EPP extension that became a proposed standard was the redemption grace period extension from RFC 3915 in September 2004.<ref name=":1" /> Since then, several different proposed standard extensions followed.<ref name=":2" />
