Hi, Werner Staub from CORE is being added as a co-editor with draft-ietf-regext-balance-01. We have a candidate list of changes to make to draft-ietf-regext-balance that we would like to discuss on the mailing list for inclusion in draft-ietf-regext-balance-01:
1. Change with the equation, where in draft-ietf-regext-balance-00, the equation is Available Credit (AC) = Credit Limit (CL) – Balance (B). The new proposed equation is Balance (B) = Credit Limit (CL) + Cash Balance (CB). The title of the draft is the Balance Mapping, where it’s best to have the left side of the equation match the name of the draft. The equation is more consistent with the Registry Fee Extension in RFC 8748, where debits decrease the Balance instead of increasing the Balance. The Low Balance Poll Message name better matches as well. 2. Add the definition of the Execution Limit (EL), which is a fixed value of 0 when no explicit billable commands (e.g., create, renew, transfer request) are allowed. 3. Change the Credit Threshold to Notification Threshold since it is a fixed value of the Balance when the Low Balance Poll Message is inserted. 4. Add sub-sections to the Object Attributes section to formally define all the terms used in the extension, like the approach taken in the Registry Fee Extension. The description of the Balance Info Response attributes can be brief and reference the more detailed description of the terms in the Object Attributes sub-sections. 5. Define the handling of the fees and taxes in the definition of the Cash Balance (CB) and subsequently the Balance (B), where the transactions are inclusive of the fees and taxes. Below is a list of open topics for discussion: 1. Currently the currency is a single currency based on server policy. In practice the currency could be a single server defined currency or could be defined on a per-registrar basis. Do we want the server to perform currency conversion? 2. Should the extension support optionally returning the “Last Book Entry Timestamp” / “Last Transaction Timestamp”? Provide any desired changes. Of course, we can make changes is later versions of draft-ietf-regext-balance based on further review and feedback.
