Thomas, I view the balance and credit limit information as separate from the fee information supported by draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees. The balance and credit limit information can optionally be returned by draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees, but I believe it's better to support a specific query mechanism. The Balance Mapping, which is registered in the EPP Extension Registry (https://www.iana.org/assignments/epp-extensions/epp-extensions.xhtml), enables querying for the balance and credit limit information directly. The Low Balance Mapping, which is also registered in the EPP Extension Registry, supports a poll message when the available credit falls below a pre-defined threshold. Is there interest in these extensions?

As far as I can tell, even the latest fee extension draft ("draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees-16") only supports the retrieval of this information in the response to a *transform* command, but not e.g. in a check response. This isn't ideal since the registrar should not be forced to send a "dummy" sequence of billable commands (e.g., a domain create/delete or transfer request/cancel sequence) only to get this information. Also, even if the registrar would store the values from the most recent "non-dummy" transform response, they could become obsolete quickly due to intermittent automatic renewals, or account top-up deposits. What's the opinion in this group regarding the addition of an inquiry feature, e.g. by adding a flag to the <domain:check> command fee extension, which could trigger the inclusion of the balance/limit in the <domain:check> fee response extension?
