Companion CIP to canton-foundation#171 (Canton Party Name Resolution Standard), split out per review feedback — one PR per CIP. Defines how names from external naming systems are imported into Canton as on-ledger credentials referenceable by Daml code (import model per the July 9 WG direction). The DNS-verified importer is specified in full (DNSSEC + _canton TXT record, 7-day re-verification, attestor-based operation) and serves as the blueprint for follow-up importer CIPs (LEI/vLEI, ENS, email, cross-chain). Depends on canton-foundation#171 for the FQPN format, resolver interface, and display conventions, and on the CN Credentials Standard (canton-foundation#204) for the credential registry. Complementary to the .canton CIP (canton-foundation#209). Note: the advanced verification draft (cprp-verification.md) is intentionally not part of any PR — parked as future work per the June 25 CNS 2.0 next-steps proposal.
