## gTLD reporting
gTLD registry operators are required by ICANN to provide various reports (ccTLDs
are not generally subject to these requirements). The Nomulus system provides
some of these reports, but others will need to be implemented using custom
scripts.
### Registry Data Escrow (RDE)
[RDE](https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/data-escrow) is a daily deposit
of the contents of the registry, sent to a third-party escrow provider. The
details are contained in Specification 2 of the [registry
agreement][registry-agreement].
Nomulus provides [code to generate and send these
deposits](./operational-procedures/rde-deposits.md).
### Monthly registry activity reporting
ICANN requires monthly activity reporting. The details are contained in
Specification 3 of the [registry agreement][registry-agreement].
These reports are generated by querying tables of Datastore snapshots which have
been exported to the BigQuery data warehouse. The Nomulus release includes the
queries used by Google. The script is Google-specific at the moment, but should
be easy to modify to support a different instance of Nomulus.
The SQL queries which assemble the report are generated by the Python script
[icann_report_query_builder.py](https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/python/google/registry/reporting/icann_report_query_builder.py).
The script generates a monolithic SQL query which is then executed against the
BigQuery tables to generate a result table containing activity report data for
all the TLDs in the system. With a little work, the data can be extracted into
CSVs in the proper format.
The test script
[icann_report_query_builder_test.py](https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/python/google/registry/reporting/icann_report_query_builder_test.py)
shows how the script is run, and the test data file
[golden_activity_query.sql](https://github.com/google/nomulus/blob/master/python/google/registry/reporting/testdata/golden_activity_query.sql)
shows what the resulting SQL looks like.
### Monthly transaction reporting
ICANN requires monthly transaction reporting. The details are also contained in
Specification 3 of the [registry agreement][registry-agreement].
Transaction reporting is not currently part of the Nomulus release.
### Zone File Access (ZFA)
ICANN requires a mechanism for them to be able to retrieve DNS zone file
information. The details are contained in part 2 of Specification 4 of the
[registry agreement][registry-agreement].
This information will come from the DNS server, rather than Nomulus itself, so
ZFA is not part of the Nomulus release.
### Bulk Registration Data Access (BRDA)
BRDA is a weekly archive of the contents of the registry. The details are
contained in part 3 of Specification 4 of the [registry
agreement][registry-agreement].
ICANN uses sFTP to retrieve BRDA data from a server provided by the registry.
Nomulus provides [code to generate these
deposits](./operational-procedures/brda-deposits.md), but a separate sFTP server
must be configured, and the deposits must be moved onto the server for access by
ICANN.
### Spec 11 reporting
[Spec 11][spec-11] reporting must be provided to ICANN as part of their
anti-abuse efforts. This is covered in Specification 11 of the
[registry agreement][registry-agreement], but the details are little spotty.
The Nomulus release does not generate these reports.
