+## Out-of-Band
+
+There may be cases where a server cannot perform automated validation of an
+identifier, for example if validation requires some manual steps.  In such
+cases, the server may provide an "out of band" (OOB) challenge to request that
+the client perform some action outside of ACME in order to validate possession
+of the identifier.
+
+The OOB challenge requests that the client have a human user visit a web page to
+receive instructions on how to validate possession of the identifier, by
+providing a URL for that web page.
+
+type (required, string):
+: The string "oob-01"
+
+url (required, string):
+: The URL to be visited.  The scheme of this URL MUST be "http" or "https"

+
+A client responds to this challenge by presenting the indicated URL for a human
+user to navigate to.  If the user choses to complete this challege (by vising
+the website and completing its instructions), the client indicates this by
+sending a simple acknowledgement response to the server.

+
+On receiving a response, the server MUST verify that the value of the "type"
+field is as required.  Otherwise, the steps the server takes to validate
+identifier possession are determined by the server's local policy.
