In addition to Patrick's comments, I also have comments on the statement of
" *must* be included in all commands other than restore".
If a registry decided to charge on "delete" and "update" commands, I don't see
the period info applicable to these commands. It might be better to specify the
list of commands (create, renew, transfer) that must have period element.
Thanks,

Subject: [regext] Comment on draft-brown-epp-fees-07 regarding default
domain:period in domain:check reply
Dear colleagues,
A question/comment on §5.1.1 of the fee specification:
o An OPTIONAL element, which contains the same unit
that appeared in the element of the command. If
the value of the preceding element is "restore",
this element MUST NOT be included. Otherwise it MUST be included.
If no appeared in command (and the command is not
"restore") then this element MUST have a value of 1 year.
Why is 1 year hardcoded there ?
Some registries, for some periods and/or some domains, may offer only
registrations for some given amount of years, and not necessarily 1.
I've already seen registries using 2 years as default and minimum values (hence
2 to 10), and other registries offering some specific values such as only 2, 5
or 10 for example.
In short, why hardcoding 1 year here instead of saying that in this case the
registries should reply with its default value (the same one that will be used
during a domain:create or other commands without a domain:period), which can be
any number based on local policies (and may be different depending on the
commands, it can be 2 years for create, but 1 for transfers) ?
