So what do you think about the rgp endDate in the escrow data?
It seems to me it would be useful…
Otherwise you need to do some hack calculations based on upDate and
the
registry policies about grace periods durations (which are not set
in
stone by the RFC3915 nor ICANN).

The grace period end date is calculated based on the business logic
and not stored in the registry database, so it is not something that
would be included in the escrow data.

Registry policy/internal implementation detail I think: I know at least
one registry operator where grace period end dates are stored in the
database (to speed up various other checks).

That is an implementation decision for that registry, but that is not the case for us.


The calculation needs to be done only once (at start of the grace
period), it can make sense to keep the result and not do it many times
after.


We calculate the applicable grace periods dynamically based on the various grace period rules that apply.  This is not static data.

Also, if registry operator changes (the purpose of escrowing stuff),
how should the new operator know all the grace period end dates,
especially if it does not have access to all the business logic details
of its predecessor?
Or you mean that the new registry operator business logic would kick it
at that time, but then you have the problem of knowing when the grace
period started, for which you may use the upDate of the domain
probably.


Will the gaining registry operator really provide grace period credits?  It would be interesting to hear from the EBERO providers what they will or should support related to grace periods and credits.  Grace periods is not persisted in our registries and is not applicable for escrow.
