Billing information and EPP/GRRP-REQ

[Klaus Malorny <Klaus.Malorny@knipp.de>]

Hi together,
hi Scott,

while digging more and more into Afilias' and NeuLevel's documents (as far as
they exist ;-), I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to include
billing information in EPP responses resp. include a requirement in the
GRRP-REQ document to provide such a feature. Yes, I know that the pricing of
certain actions is a registry policy, of course. Nevertheless or especially
for that reason it could be a good idea to have a common reporting mechanism:
Since a registry might introduce several grace periods (like NSI/Verisign does
with newly registered domains/renewed domains), in certain situations it may
not be quite clear to the registrar whether such a grace period applies or
not. So for  near-registration-time accounting, it may be good if some
information is included (I could detail this). This information should not
make monthly reports obsolete, but could complement these.
