Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
1. Introduction
Historically, domain name registries have applied a simple fee
structure for billable transactions, namely a basic unit price
applied to domain <create>, <renew>, <transfer> and RGP [RFC3915]
restore commands. Given the relatively small number of EPP servers
to which EPP clients have been required to connect, it has generally
been the case that client operators have been able to obtain details
of these fees out-of-band by contacting the server operators.
Given the recent expansion of the DNS namespace, and the
proliferation of novel business models, it is now desirable to
provide a method for EPP clients to query EPP servers for the fees
and credits associated with certain commands and specific objects.
This document describes an extension mapping for version 1.0 of the
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) [RFC5730]. This EPP mapping
provides a mechanism by which EPP clients may query the fees and
credits associated with various billable transactions, and also
obtain their current account balance.
1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
XML is case sensitive. Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
character case presented in order to develop a conforming
implementation.
"fee" is used as an abbreviation for
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-0.11". The XML namespace prefix "fee" is
used, but implementations MUST NOT depend on it and instead employ a
proper namespace-aware XML parser and serializer to interpret and
output the XML documents.
(Note to RFC Editor: remove the following paragraph before
publication as an RFC.)
The XML namespace prefix above contains a version number,
specifically "0.11". This version number will increment with
successive versions of this document, and will reach 1.0 if and when
this document is published as an RFC. This permits clients to
distinguish which version of the extension a server has implemented.

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
2. Migrating to Newer Versions of This Extension
(Note to RFC Editor: remove this section before publication as an
RFC.)
Servers which implement this extension SHOULD provide a way for
clients to progressively update their implementations when a new
version of the extension is deployed.
Servers SHOULD (for a temporary migration period) provide support for
older versions of the extension in parallel to the newest version,
and allow clients to select their preferred version via the
<svcExtension> element of the <login> command.
If a client requests multiple versions of the extension at login,
then, when preparing responses to commands which do not include
extension elements, the server SHOULD only include extension elements
in the namespace of the newest version of the extension requested by
the client.
When preparing responses to commands which do include extension
elements, the server SHOULD only include extension elements for the
extension versions present in the command.
3. Extension Elements
3.1. Client Commands
The <fee:command> element is used in the EPP <check> command to
determine the fee which is applicable to the given command.
The element values permitted by the server is a matter of repository
policy, but MUST include as a minimum the following values:
o "create" indicating a <create> command;
o "renew" indicating a <renew> command;
o "transfer" indicating a <transfer> command;
If the server supports the Registry Grace Period Mapping [RFC3915],
then the server MUST also support the "restore" value.
The <fee:command> element MAY have an OPTIONAL "phase" attribute
specifying a launch phase as described in
[draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase]. It may also contain an OPTIONAL
"subphase" attribute identifying the custom or sub-phase as described
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
in [draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase].
3.2. Currency Codes
The <fee:currency> element is used to indicate which currency fees
are charged in. This value of this element MUST be a three-character
currency code from [ISO4217].
Note that ISO 4217 provides the special "XXX" code, which MAY be used
if the server uses a non-currency based system for assessing fees,
such as a system of credits.
The use of <fee:currency> elements in commands is OPTIONAL: if a
<fee:currency> element is not present in a command, the server MUST
determine the currency based on the client's account settings which
MUST be agreed by the client and server via an out-of-band channel.
However, the <fee:currency> element MUST be present in responses.
Servers SHOULD NOT perform a currency conversion if a client uses an
incorrect currency code. Servers SHOULD return a 2004 error instead.
3.3. Validity Periods
When querying for fee information using the <check> command, the
<fee:period> element is used to indicate the units to be added to the
registration period of objects by the <create>, <renew> and
<transfer> commands. This element is derived from the <domain:
period> element described in [RFC5731].
The <fee:period> element is OPTIONAL in <check> commands: if omitted,
the server MUST determine the fee(s) using a validity period of 1
year. The <fee:period> element MUST be present in <check> responses.
3.4. Fees and Credits
Servers which implement this extension will include elements in
responses which provide information about the fees and/or credits
associated with a given billable transaction.
The <fee:fee> and <fee:credit> elements are used to provide this
information. The presence of a <fee:fee> element in a response
indicates a debit against the client's account balance; a <fee:
credit> element indicates a credit. A <fee:fee> element MUST have a
non-negative value. A <fee:credit> element MUST have a negative
value.
A server MAY respond with multiple <fee:fee> and <fee:credit>
elements in the same response. In such cases, the net fee or credit
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
applicable to the transaction is the arithmetic sum of the values of
each of the <fee:fee> and/or <fee:credit> elements. This amount
applies to the total additional validity period applied to the object
(where applicable) rather than to any incremental unit.
The following attributes are defined for the <fee:fee> element.
These are described in detail below:
description: an OPTIONAL attribute which provides a human-readable
description of the fee. Servers should provide documentation on
the possible values of this attribute, and their meanings.
refundable: an OPTIONAL boolean attribute indicating whether the fee
is refundable if the object is deleted.
grace-period: an OPTIONAL attribute which provides the time period
during which the fee is refundable.
applied: an OPTIONAL attribute indicating when the fee will be
deducted from the client's account.
The <fee:credit> element can take a "description" attribute as
described above. No other attributes are defined for this element.
3.4.1. Refunds
<fee:fee> elements MAY have an OPTIONAL "refundable" attribute which
takes a boolean value. Fees may be refunded under certain
circumstances, such as when a domain application is rejected (as
described in [draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase]) or when an object is
deleted during the relevant Grace Period (see below).
If the "refundable" attribute is omitted, then clients SHOULD NOT
make any assumption about the refundability of the fee.
3.4.2. Grace Periods
[RFC3915] describes a system of "grace periods", which are time
periods following a billable transaction during which, if an object
is deleted, the client receives a refund.
The "grace-period" attribute MAY be used to indicate the relevant
grace period for a fee. If a server implements the Registry Grace
Period extension, it MUST specify the grace period for all relevant
transactions.
If the "grace-period" attribute is omitted, then clients SHOULD NOT
make any assumption about the grace period of the fee.
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
3.4.3. Correlation between Refundability and Grace Periods
If a <fee:fee> element has a "grace-period" attribute then it MUST
also be refundable. If the "refundable" attribute of a <fee:fee>
element is false then it MUST NOT have a "grace-period" attribute.
3.4.4. Applicability
Fees may be applied immediately upon receipt of a command from a
client, or may only be applied once an out-of-band process (such as
the processing of applications at the end of a launch phase) has
taken place.
The "applied" attribute of the <fee:fee> element allows servers to
indicate whether a fee will be applied immediately, or whether it
will be applied at some point in the future. This attribute takes
two possible values: "immediate" (which is the default) or "delayed".
3.5. Account Balance
The <fee:balance> element is an OPTIONAL element which MAY be
included in server responses to transform commands. If present, it
can be used by the client to determine the remaining credit at the
server.
Whether or not the <fee:balance> is included in responses is a matter
of server policy. However, if a server chooses to offer support for
this element, it MUST be included in responses to all "transform"
commands (ie <create>, <renew>, <update>, <delete>, <transfer
op="request">).
The value of the <fee:balance> MAY be negative. A negative balance
indicates that the server has extended a line of credit to the client
(see below).
If a server includes a <fee:balance> element in response to transform
commands, the value of the element MUST reflect the client's account
balance after any fees or credits associated with that command have
been applied.
3.6. Credit Limit
As described above, if a server returns a response containing a <fee:
balance> with a negative value, then the server has extended a line
of credit to the client. A server MAY also include a <fee:
creditLimit> element in responses which indicates the maximum credit
available to a client. A server MAY reject certain transactions if
the absolute value of the <fee:balance> is equal to or exceeds the
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
value of the <fee:creditLimit> element.
Whether or not the <fee:creditLimit> is included in responses is a
matter of server policy. However, if a server chooses to offer
support for this element, it MUST be included in responses to all
"transform" commands (ie <create>, <renew>, <update>, <delete>,
<transfer op="request">).
3.7. Classification of Objects
Objects may be assigned to a particular class, category, or tier,
each of which has a particular fee or set of fees associated with it.
The <fee:class> element which appears in <check> responses is used to
indicate the classification of an object.
If a server makes use of this element, it should provide clients with
a list of all the values that the element may take via an out-of-band
channel. Servers MUST NOT use values which do not appear on this
list.
Servers which make use of this element MUST use a <fee:class> element
with the value "standard" for all objects that are subject to the
standard or default fee.
4. Server Handling of Fee Information
Depending on server policy, a client MAY be required to include the
extension elements described in this document for certain transform
commands. Servers must provide clear documentation to clients about
the circumstances in which this extension must be used.
If a server receives a command from a client which does not include
the extension elements required by the server for that command, then
it MUST respond with a 2003 "Required parameter missing" error.
If the currency or total fee provided by the client do not agree with
the server's own calculation of the fee for that command, then the
server MUST reject the command with a 2004 "Parameter value range"
error.
5. EPP Command Mapping
A detailed description of the EPP syntax and semantics can be found
in [RFC5730].
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
5.1. EPP Query Commands
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <poll> or <info>
commands or responses.
5.1.1. EPP <check> Command
This extension defines additional elements for the EPP <check>
command.
The command MAY contain an <extension> element which MAY contain a
<fee:check> element. The <fee:check> element contains the following
child elements:
o A <fee:command> element;
o An OPTIONAL <fee:currency> element;
o An OPTIONAL <fee:period> element.
o An OPTIONAL <fee:class> element.
Example <check> command:
C: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
C: <epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0">
C: <command>
C: <check>
C: <domain:check
C: xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0">
C: <domain:name>example.com</domain:name>
C: <domain:name>example.net</domain:name>
C: <domain:name>example.xyz</domain:name>
C: </domain:check>
C: </check>
C: <extension>
C: <fee:check xmlns:fee="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-0.11">
C: <fee:command>create</fee:command>
C: <fee:currency>USD</fee:currency>
C: </fee:check>
C: </extension>
C: <clTRID>ABC-12345</clTRID>
C: </command>
C: </epp>
When the server receives a <check> command that includes the
extension elements described above, its response MUST (subject to the
exception described below) contain an <extension> element, which MUST
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
contain a child <fee:chkData> element. The <fee:chkData> element
MUST contain a <fee:cd> element for each object referenced in the
<check> element in the command.
The <fee:cd> element has an OPTIONAL "avail" atribute which is a
boolean. If the value of this attribute evalutes to false, this
indicates that the server cannot calculate the relevant fees, because
the object, command, currency, period or class is invalid according
to server policy.
The <fee:cd> contains the following child elements:
o A <fee:object> element, which contains a copy of the child element
of the <check> element of the command, to which the fee
information relates.
o A <fee:command> element, which contains the same command that
appeared in the corresponding <fee:object> element. This element
MAY have the OPTIONAL "phase" and "subphase" elements, which MUST
match the same attributes in the corresponding <fee:object>
element.
o A <fee:currency> element, which contains the same currency code
that appeared in the <fee:currency> element of the command. If no
<fee:currency> element appeared in the command, then the client's
default billing currency should be used.
o An OPTIONAL <fee:period> element, which contains the same unit
that appeared in the <fee:currency> element of the command. 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.
o Zero or more <fee:fee> elements.
o Zero or more <fee:credit> elements.
o An OPTIONAL <fee:class> element.
o An OPTIONAL <fee:reason> element.
If no <fee:fee> elements are present in a <fee:cd> element, this
indicates that no fee will be assessed by the server for this
command.
If the "avail" attribute of the <fee:cd> element is false, then the
<fee:cd> element MUST NOT contain any <fee:fee> or <fee:credit> child
Brown & Frakes Expires October 10, 2016 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
elements. If the "avail" attribute is true, then the <fee:cd>
element MUST NOT contain a <fee:reason> element.

5.1.1.1. Server Handling of <fee:class> Elements
Clients MAY include a <fee:class> in the <fee:check> element. There
are three ways in which servers may handle this element:
1. If the server supports the concept of tiers or classes of
objects, then the value of this element MUST be validated. If
incorrect for the specified object, the "avail" attribute of the
corresponding <fee:cd> element MUST be false.
2. If the server supports different "types" of object registrations
(such as a "blocking" registration which does not resolve, or
where a registry provides a value-added service that requires an
opt-out to disable), then, as with the first model, the server
MUST valudate the value of the element. If the value is
incorrect, the "avail" attribute of the corresponding <fee:cd>
element MUST be false.
3. If the server supports neither of the above models, the element
MUST be ignored.
Server operators must provide clear documentation to client operators
which of the above models it supports.

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
5.1.2. EPP Transfer Query Command
This extension does not add any elements to the EPP <transfer> query
command, but does include elements in the response, when the
extension has been selected during a <login> command.
When the <transfer> query command has been processed successfully,
the client selected the extension when it logged in, and the client
is authorised by the server to view information about the transfer,
the server MAY include in the <extension> section of the EPP response
a <fee:trnData> element, which contains the following child elements:
o A <fee:currency> element.
o A <fee:period> element.
o Zero or more <fee:fee> elements containing the fees that will be
charged to the gaining client.
o Zero or more <fee:credit> elements containing the credits that
will be refunded to the losing client.
Servers SHOULD omit <fee:credit> when returning a response to the
gaining client, and omit <fee:fee> elements when returning a response
to the losing client.
If no <fee:trnData> element is included in the response, then no fee
will be assessed by the server for the transfer.
Example <transfer> query response:

Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section and the reference to
[RFC6982] before publication.
This section records the status of known implementations of the
protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC6982].
The description of implementations in this section is intended to

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
RFCs. Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
here does not imply endorsement by the IETF. Furthermore, no effort
has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
supplied by IETF contributors. This is not intended as, and must not
be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
features. Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
exist.
According to [RFC6982], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
they see fit".

10. Change History
10.1. Changes from 00 to 01
1. Restore the <check> command extension; either <check> or <info>
can be used.
2. added extension elements for <create>, <renew>, <transfer> and
<update> so that the server can reject the command if the fee is
incorrect.
10.2. Changes from 01 to 02
1. Use Internet-Draft version number rather than XML namespace
version number in this section.
2. Support for multiple <fee:fee> and <fee:credit> elements.
3. Added the "description" attribute to <fee:fee> and <fee:credit>
elements.
4. Added the <fee:balance> element.
5. Added the <fee:creditLimit> element.
6. Updated reference to [draft-ietf-eppext-launchphase].
7. Use <fee:command> instead of <fee:action>.
8. Use a single child element of <fee:chkData> instead of multiple
elements for each domain. This also requires using a different

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
name (<fee:name>) for the domain name.
9. Added the "refundable" attribute to <fee:fee> elements.
10. Added the "grace-period" attribute to <fee:fee> elements.
10.3. Changes from 02 to 03
1. Added the "applied" attribute to to <fee:fee> elements.
2. Simplified the wording in relation to when a server can return an
error for extended <info> commands.
3. Added the <fee:period> element to transfer query responses.
4. Removed wording about how servers behave when receiving incorrect
fee information from transform commands, and put it into a single
section at the top of the document.
5. Allow servers to omit <fee:fee> elements from <fee:cd> elements
if the command specified by the client is forbidden.
10.4. Changes from 03 to 04
1. Changed Intended Status to Standards Track.
2. As per suggestion from Michael Bauland, the <fee:period> element
is no longer included in <check> and <info> responses for
"restore" commands. It's still mandatory for all other commands.
3. Added summary of the attributes for the <fee:fee> element.
4. Clarified that the "refundable" and "grace-period" attributes of
the <fee:fee> elements are dependant on each other and cannot
appear on their own.
5. Removed the option of returning a 1001 response when the fee is
incorrect.
6. Forbidden the inclusion of extension elements in transform
responses if no fee/credit has been assessed.
7. Made the <fee:currency> element optional in transform commands.
8. Amended XML Namespace section of IANA Considerations, added EPP
Extension Registry section.

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
10.5. Changes from 04 to 05
1. Removed the extended <info> command. The <check> command is the
only command that can be used now.
2. Introduced a mandatory-to-implement "standard" class for non-
premium domains.
3. The decision was made to keep availability info in <check>
responses as registrars have indicated that it is very useful as
it avoids unnecessary round trips to the server.
4. Allow <fee:credit> elements to be present in <check> responses.
5. Allow the number of <fee:fee> which can appear in transform
responses to be zero.
6. Removed the <fee:balance> and <fee:creditLimit> elements from
transfer query responses. The reason is that these elements are
defined as containing the values after the transform command has
taken place - which means that it is not appropriate to include
them in a query response.
7. Added Implementation Status section.
10.6. Changes from 05 to 06
1. The specification is now object-agnostic, but works with RFC5731
[RFC5731] domains by default.
2. Renamed the <fee:domain> element to <fee:object>. Added the
"objURI" attribute.
3. Removed the default value for the "refundable" attribute of <fee:
fee> elements, and added text about how clients should handle
such cases. Added similar text to the documentation of the
"grace-period" attribute.
4. Removed references to the defunct <info> command syntax.
5. "MUST" requirements regarding documentation have been changed to
"must".
6. Created separate "Correlation between Refundability and Grace
Periods" section describing how the "refundable" and "grace-
period" attributes work together.

Internet-Draft Registry Fee Extension for EPP April 2016
10.7. Changes from 06 to 07
1. Changed the syntax of the <check> form to be simpler: a single
set of <fee:command>, <fee:currency> etc elements is applied to
the objects specified in the main body of the <check> command.
2. Simplified the object-agnosticism to simply copy the element from
the <check> command into the <fee:cd> element.
3. Added the "avail" attribute to the <fee:cd> element and added
commentary about its semantics.
4. Added the <fee:reason> element to the <check> response so servers
can indicate why fee information is not available.
