}}</ref> RDAP designers, many of whom are members of [[Regional Internet registry|number]] or [[Domain name registry|name ]] registries, strove to keep the protocol as simple as possible, since complexity was considered one of reasons why previous attempts, such as [[Cross Registry Information Service Protocol|CRISP]], failed. RDAP is based on [[REST|RESTful web services]], so that error codes, user identification, authentication, and access control can be delivered through [[HTTP]].<ref>{{cite web

The biggest delay in getting RDAP done turned out to be the ''bootstrap'', figuring out where the server is for each top level ___domain, IP range, or ASN range. [[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]] agreed to host the bootstrap information in suitable registries, and publish it at a well-known ___location URLs in JSON format. Those registries started empty and will be gradually populated as registrants of domains and address spaces provide RDAP server information to IANA. <ref>{{cite web
