Hi all
I agree it would be very useful to be able to query balance. A few other
registries have their own [propriety?] solutions, sometimes using a
registrar object "<registrar:info>" solution or contact:info on
registrar id (which also requires extension) as in the ZA link you
provided. I have also seen it displayed on login and sent over poll
messages. None of the solutions are particularly elegant. Adding a
specific extension for balance (potentially as part of registrar object)
seems fine to me, especially if other registries are doing the same, so
I see nothing wrong with implementing Verisign's extension.
In any case I would vote +1 for Gavin to add the balance to a
domain:check command in this extension as it makes sense to see the
price of a domain along with remaining balance before purchasing it.
Regards,
Michael

Martin, all,
However the drawback is that one needs to execute an actual transform
command (ie <create>, <renew>, <update>, <delete>, <transfer
op="request">)
in order to obtain the balance after the transformation was executed.
I do agree with Martin that an option to gather the current account balance
without actually performing a transaction would be great. While tying it to the
execution of a billable transaction sounds great from the business perspective
;) I don't think it's very practical.
We would like to suggest that this functionality is integrated into an
ordinary <domain:check> command / response in one way or another.
I do agree that the "check" command would be a viable option - even though, technically,
it would be information of an object that is not tied to the registrar balance at all (But we do
have that "independent" information in the response to the transform commands as well).
Maybe an optional attribute in the "fee:check" element itself? ("balance=yes")?
Maybe a "balance" pseudo-command-Value for the "fee:command" element?
Somewhere in the greeting/hello Process?
Neither of the options we came up with is particularly elegant - does anybody
have better ideas?
