What is the status of EPP in the IETF standardization process?

At the December 2000 IETF meeting, a Birds-Of-a-Feather (BOF) was held to determine the interest level in establishing a working group that would help define an IETF standardized Registry-Registrar protocol. The BOF led to the creation of the IETF "provreg" (Provisioning Registry Protocol) working group. In March of 2004, EPP became an official standard.
