Jaromir,
Thank you for the below details on transferes, however, the incidence
of domain transfers
has been high on the ,mw registry and we would like to explore the
possibility of charging for
them on FRED, like other registries do - for example .eu, see
https://eurid.eu/en/fees-and-prepayments
As result we put this in the Fee Policy for .mw -
http://www.sdnp.re
gistrar.mw/policy.php
So, I would like to explore further and more deeply how FRED handles
transfers.
Are transfers logged anywhere ? ... can we scan for and extract such
data from such a log ?
Definitely. Every EPP transaction is stored in request tables. One way
to list all transfers per registrar over last month is following SQL:
SELECT user_name, COUNT(*) FROM request r JOIN request_type rt ON
(r.request_type_id=rt.id) WHERE r.service_id=3 and r.is_monitoring='f'
and (DATE_TRUNC('month',time_begin::timestamptz AT TIME ZONE
'Europe/Prague') = DATE_TRUNC('month',CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE
'Europe/Prague' - INTERVAL '0 month')) AND
rt.name='DomainTransfer' AND
r.result_code_id=(SELECT id FROM result_code WHERE service_id=3 AND
result_code=1000) GROUP BY user_name;
Just change time zone to yours.
Can we see details of such a log in Daphne ?
Yes, you can. If you will go to Logs->Logs and select Service type =
EPP and add Request Type filter with value DomainTransfer, you will see
the same result.
If enough details exist in a log on transfers then may
be we can
process such a log and
invoice the transfers at the end of the month. Would be great if
there was a way of doing this
using the registrar deposit.
This is quite tricky and I'm afraid there is no direct function for
general charging of unknown item.
I guess Jaromir that you afre already doing something
like that for
registrars who exceedsa
certain number of EPP transactions at .cz. Do you then charge this to
the registrar credit or
do you send them a separate invoice?
Yes, we have implemented this to be included in monthly invoice.
We are internally working on refactoring of billing component so I can
record 'charging of other things' as a feature request, but I cannot
promise this will be implemented in following month, maybe at the
beginning of next year.
I will try to explore other possibilities but in the meantime the only
way is to charge registrars outside of FRED.

Jaromir
