Re: domain transfers in FRED - how to charge the transaction

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 ?

Can we see details of such a log in Daphne ?

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.

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?
