Hi Thomas,

At DNS Belgium, we have implemented a custom "registrar:info" extension for 
that a long time ago. Balance or credit limit is a registrar property, so in my 
opinion it does not belong in the response of any domain command. Instead of 
defining a new registrar object, you could implement the organisation extension 
and lobby for an update of the epp-fees extension to include balance data in 
info commands? Or something in that direction (I'm not aware of all details of 
these extensions)

Kind regards,

Pieter

    Hello,
    
    some of our registrars keep asking for a feature to simply inquire their
    current account balance and credit limit via EPP.
    
    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?
    
    Best regards,
