.it is interested in the Balance Mapping extension.  With regard to the Low Balance Mapping extension, .it has already implemented a poll message with the same meaning.

The balance and credit limit information can optionally be returned by draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees, but I believe it's better to support a specific query mechanism.  The Balance Mapping, which is registered in the EPP Extension Registry (https://www.iana.org/assignments/epp-extensions/epp-extensions.xhtml), enables querying for the balance and credit limit information directly.  The Low Balance Mapping, which is also registered in the EPP Extension Registry, supports a poll message when the available credit falls below a pre-defined threshold.  Is there interest in these extensions?
