Roger,

Hopefully others will weigh in on the list and these should be topics for the 
REGEXT working session.

I believe what is defined in the 01 draft is a new option, which could be 
called Option D.  My perspective is that Option C is too heavy weight for an 
extension to the check command, but I conceded my objection previously.  Option 
D makes Option C look light, where the availability check morphs into a fee 
info of many domains and operations, with availability as a side note.  If 
Option D is the direction that this draft is moving, I highly recommend that we 
either create a new verb (e.g., fee check) like the claims check defined in the 
Claims Check Form of draft-ietf-regext-launchphase or we bring back the 
extension of the info command and response.  On the server-side the fee 
extension would be handled separately and merged with the availability check 
information, which is better suited as separate operations.

On the location of the “avail” attribute, the 01 draft does not properly 
support the handling of an invalid domain name.  What should the server do if 
the client passes an invalid domain name, return “avail=false” for each of the 
commands?  I much prefer fast-failing returning the fee information for a 
domain name that is invalid, bocked, or reserved by returning “avail=false” at 
the object level and not returning any of the command elements.

I view having some sort of standardization of fee classifications with 
extensibility as being an important element for making the extension more 
meaningful to clients and servers.  I also view the expected server behavior 
for the availability check values (if we continue to extend the availability 
check command) and the handling of billable operations of premium domain names 
as an important topic for discussion and hopefully defining in the draft.

I look forward to other thoughts on this and I look forward to an effective 
REGEXT working session on this.

Good Afternoon,



Thanks for the review and comments James!!!



I think your discussion of Option C is a great starting point for the list. I 
believe, this current version 01 allows for more flexibility/refinement (being 
able to request different fees for different domains) then what you describe. 
Obviously there is more cost with this flexibility, more defining, validating, 
etc. I am open to either solution and would like to see what the others think 
about the “flexibility” need and use of the current draft 01 versus what you 
are proposing.



And likewise on your discussion of the location of the “avail” attribute, I 
think the current version 01 allows for more flexibility/refinement. Again, I 
am open to either solution and would like to hear what others think.



As for your number items:

1.       Fixed in version 02 (coming soon)

2.       I think this is left open and could potentially be extended.

3.       a) I will work to include descriptions in version 03. I don’t think we 
want to state the default period as 1 year, I think that should be left to 
server policy; b) I agree that this should be directed by server policy and 
will update wording in version 03; c) As mentioned above “avail” at the command 
level provides more flexibility/refinement; d) “avail” defaults to 1.

4.       I agree and will look for missing definitions, please pass along any 
that you see are missing.

5.       I think the create should fail if the passed in fee does not match the 
server fee.

6.       I think it should return available if it is available.

7.       Good question. I like the idea of some predefined with extensibility.



Again, I think this version was built for flexibility but I think we need to 
consider the complexity and use and balance correctly, please share your 
thoughts.





Thanks

Roger

In review of draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-01, I have the following feedback.



From a high-level, I believe that draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-01 does not match 
the target of Option C presented by Gavin Brown at IETF-97 
(https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/95/slides/slides-95-regext-9.pdf ), which 
consists of an extension to the domain names in the body of the <check> command 
with a list of commands in the extension.  All the domains in the body would 
get the fee information for the same set of commands included in the fee 
extension.  I believe that the response “avail” attribute needs to be included 
in the cd element and not in the command sub-element, so that it’s an all of 
nothing result per domain name.  This way invalid or reserved domain names 
would return “avail=0” in the cd element without inclusion of a command 
sub-elements.   I included full command and response examples for the Option B 
and Option C discussed at IETF 97 in the mail posting 
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/eppext/current/msg00883.html.





1. Section 1.1 since refer to “0.13” instead of “0.1”

2. Section 3.1 “Client Commands”

a. Can you extend the supported commands?   For example, can we add the command 
“sync” for the consolidate command?  There is no enumerated list in the XSD, 
but the text in 3.1 states “The list of values include:”.  Does this allow only 
using these command strings or can we define new ones?

3. Section 5.1.1 “EPP <check> Command”

a. Add a description for the <fee:period> and <fee:class> elements that 
includes their meaning in relationship to the extension to the check command.

i. I assume that not specifying the period matches the period that is defined 
for the object mapping.  In the case of a domain name, the default period would 
be 1 year for the create, renew, and transfer commands.  The restore would not 
support a period, since it is a fixed fee, so there are commands where the 
period would not be allowed.

b. The number of supported <fee:command> elements would be up to server policy, 
since I don’t believe we would support specifying every billable command and 
every possible period within a single extension to a check command.  That sort 
of bulk query is best suited for an extension to the info command as in a fee 
info command, which was removed in one of the prior versions of the draft.

c. Why are you putting the “avail” attribute at the <fee:command> level instead 
of the <fee:cd> level?  What if the domain name is invalid or there is some 
other input issue like the currency is invalid?  The server would want to fast 
fail on the entire object and not at the command level.  If the “avail” flag is 
at the command level, then it is best suited to look to extend info instead of 
the check command, since this is getting much to heavy weight for a check 
command and response.

d. The response sample does not include an “avail” attribute for each of the 
<fee:command> elements.

4. I believe we should define the fields of the responses under each of the 
commands or reference out to a section that defines them.

5. Should a create fail if the client does not pass a fee that is greater than 
or equal to the premium domain name fee?  We don’t define what a “premium” 
domain name is or any expected behavior if a client does not provide the 
extension.  Should we define such expected server behavior in the draft?

6. Should a premium domain name be returned as unavailable in the check if the 
fee extension is not passed, since the create would most likely fail later in 
the purchase flow?  We don’t define what a “premium” domain name is or any 
expected behavior if the client does not provide the fee extension.

7. Should there be an enumerated list of <fee:class> values with some form of 
extensibility?  Section 3.7 “Classification of Objects” predefines the 
“standard” classification.  Should we predefine some additional classifications 
that have generic meaning to both the client and the server?  For example, you 
could predefine an enumerated list including “premium”, “standard”, and 
“discount” with some form of customization like the use of the enumerated 
“custom” value with an optional “name” attribute to specify the custom name or 
custom sub-classification.  If we had predefined classification values with 
predefined meanings, we could define expected (MAY, SHOULD, or MUST) behavior 
for the handling of different classifications.
