Re: [eppext] Suggestion for check domain extension

["Linlin Zhou" <[e-mail]>]

We also have the same requirement. Moreover, some users want to know whether a domain is allocated/blocked/reserved in different language scripts, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Because of different label generation rules, even the same domain may have different status. I'd like to help write an initial draft to specify this extension.

Have you considered writing a draft describing such an extension?
 
It would be nice if the AFNIC extension was registered:

Subject: [eppext] Suggestion for check domain extension
 
As a registrar I would like to see a standard way in check domain to get information about if a domain is blocked or reserved, like in the AFNIC extension ( http://www.afnic.fr/xml/epp/frnic-1.3):

...
<!--
AFNIC <check> response extensions details
-->
<complexType name="resChkDataType">
  <choice>
    <element name="domain" type="frnic:resChkDomDataType"/>
  </choice>
</complexType>

<complexType name="resChkDomDataType">
  <sequence>
    <element name="cd" type="frnic:domCheckType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
  </sequence>
</complexType>

<complexType name="domCheckType">
  <sequence>
    <element name="name" type="frnic:domCheckNameType"/>
    <element name="rsvReason" type="eppcom:reasonType" minOccurs="0"/>
    <element name="fbdReason" type="eppcom:reasonType" minOccurs="0"/>
  </sequence>
</complexType>

<complexType name="domCheckNameType">
  <simpleContent>
    <extension base="eppcom:labelType">
      <attribute name="reserved" type="boolean" use="required"/>
      <attribute name="forbidden" type="boolean" use="required"/>
    </extension>
  </simpleContent>
</complexType>
...

Using the current check domain it is not possible to identify blocked/reserved domains unless the reason can be parsed, as most just return unavailable for blocked domains, and available for reserved domains.

It might also be extended with some kind of identifier for who the domain is reserved to (i.e. domain name for .uk domains, or VAT number for .rio domains).
