Dear All,
I'm new to this list.
Looking at page 18 of this doc (dated 2007!):
http://www.aftld.org/bk/cairo2007/docs/FRED-20070529-PT-AfTLD.pdf
I can see a preview of a GUI for FRED client.
Is it something that is actually available nowadays ?
Thanks and sorry if it's something I could have seen into the README file which I'm currently
reading.

chers à SafeBrands, les mails qu'il m'arrive d'envoyer en dehors des heures ou jours ouvrables

I am finding in FRED that I have to issue new invoice prefixes now that the year has changed
from 2017 to 2018.
If I do not do this then I get an error :
"Missing invoice prefix"
when I try to add credit to a registrar account using the
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
command
I am having to do this for each zone which is painful because I have 10+ zones.
Is there a way to update this automatically when the year changes ?
Additionally, is there a way that I can run the
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
command for a zone and land on the correct prefix every time ?
In many cases when I run the command
#fred-admin --invoice_credit
I get the error
DEATAIL: Key (prefix)=(interger) already exits
and I have to run the command a few more times before I land on an interger that the
command accepts.
How can I get around this and land on the correct interger for the command without having to
repeat it?

Paulos

we have a customer who tried to change the name servers of many of his .MW domains to :

But we get a strange error : "Invalid nameserver hostname"
Does anyone know why FRED registry is giving this error ?

Hi registry dandies!
In case you don't know what present to give to your favorite
documentation manufacturer (yes, me), the survey on new topics for the
FRED documentation is still open till the end of the year. Please please
please, fill it for us, it won't take long:
https://goo.gl/forms/5meQ0qLbSiwSu0y22
I will be immensely grateful and it will return to you in great docs!
Happy holiday season wishes

Hi
as some of you have already found out, we have released a new EPP
documentation a few weeks ago. It contains all EPP commands available
in FRED with examples and appropriate fred-client commands. This
documentation is available here:
https://fred.nic.cz/documentation/html/EPPReference/index.html
We would like to ask you to help us in deciding which part of FRED
needs better documentation. To make it easier for you, there is simple
survey with a list of topics that we may concentrate on in further
development of FRED documentation.
https://goo.gl/forms/u3CQWc6Nfo51JBGz2
Please, try to fill it before the end of November so we could make a
plan for beginning of next year.
Regards,
Jaromir

Hello.
We've tested applying credits to registrars using FRED. Now, I want to
make a question of how the deductions are made.
Say, I decide to have 40 monetary units for domain creation and 10 for
domain update for renewing my domain, this way.
/fred-admin --price_add --operation_price 40.00 --zone_fqdn dom
--operation CreateDomain/
/fred-admin --price_add --operation_price 10.00 --zone_fqdn dom
--operation RenewDomain/
and assign 140 monetary units to their credit, this way
/fred-admin --invoice_credit --zone_id 1 --registrar_id 6 --price 140/
The zone numbered 1 is "dom" .
When I create a domain like this:
/create_domain testmg6.dom mf02 NULL NULL NULL (1 y)
/
What is deducted from the credit is 80 monetary units, not 70, so what
is left is 60.
Is that correct?. If it is, how to apply ONLY the renewal price when you
renew the domain, not when you create it?.
Best regards.

Thank you for the input, most of this is already the same on .mw registry.

It appears there is no such law in Malawi and this is part of the reason I raised the
question - to learn what is the case with other ccTLD registries.

Same.
So, does your registry system have facilities for generating invoices such as these for
pre-payments?
Does it produce statements form registrars?

Hello,
I would like to find out how your registry responds to a request like the one here below
for invoices and statements on registrar payments to a registry that uses the FRED
registry system.
On our registry for the Malawi .mw ccTLD, registrar payments are credited to the
registrar zone by zone according to what the registrar has paid for. Once the registrar
has consumed the credit, then they need to make a new payment in advance which is then
credited to the zones that they need.
We do not need to issue them an invoice in advance, they make the payments based on what
transactions they need to do on each zone.
When we receive a request for their data payments, we have used Invoice on Daphne to
generate the data and we have sent this to the registrar.
However, as you can see here below, this registrar seems to be asking for more.
I would therefore like to request information on how your registry using FRED handles
requests for data, invoices and statements like these.
Regards,
Paulos

Hi Dr Paulos,
I think you might have misunderstood, I wasn’t complaining. The details you provided me
in April was excel spreadsheet with payment details and the zones that were topped. We
need proper invoices and statements and therefore I was following up on our last
conversation where you was saying that you are developing a system to make this possible.
I was just checking if this is now possible and would we be getting proper statements
and invoices.
Thank you.
Kind regards,

Jaromir,
Just one or two more clarifications on FRED:
1. Is there a default maximum number of years (or months) for renewing a domain ?
I see that in .cz this is required to be 10 years - is this burned into FRED or can it be
modified?
See: https://www.nic.cz/files/nic/doc/Registration_rules_CZ.pdf
