In addition to Patrick's comments, I also have comments on the statement of "<fee:period> *must* be included in all commands other than restore".
If a registry decided to charge on "delete" and "update" commands, I don't see the period info applicable to these commands. It might be better to specify the list of commands (create, renew, transfer) that must have period element.

If the value of the preceding <fee:command> element is "restore", this element MUST NOT be included. Otherwise it MUST be included. If no <fee:period> appeared in command (and the command is not "restore") then this element MUST have a value of 1 year. </quote> Why is 1 year hardcoded there ? Some registries, for some periods and/or some domains, may offer only registrations for some given amount of years, and not necessarily 1. I've already seen registries using 2 years as default and minimum values (hence 2 to 10), and other registries offering some specific values such as only 2, 5 or 10 for example. In short, why hardcoding 1 year here instead of saying that in this case the registries should reply with its default value (the same one that will be used during a domain:create or other commands without a domain:period), which can be any number based on local policies (and may be different depending on the commands, it can be 2 years for create, but 1 for transfers) ? -- Patrick Mevzek _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
