Annual maintenance service implementation Radu Boncea radu@rotld.ro Software Engineer 1

Principles 6.00 EUR/year Register price (excl. VAT) ICI Registrar practiced price 12EUR/year (excl. VAT) The maintenance service will be introduced on March 1st , 2018 The maximum aggregate maintenance period is 10 years For all operations there will be a single price calculated, based on the number of years (new, renew, trade) The transfer from one registrar to another is free of charge The maximum grace period is 5 years, 3 months minimum period (the first domains will expire on June 1st,2018) Once expired, a domain will be programmed to be deleted after a 90 days period (the domain will be in pendingDelete status) A domain with the pendingDelete status is inoperative, with the „Renew” operation as the only one allowed. The Renewal of a domain involves the setup of the expiration date according to the old expiration date and the chosen period. (extension of the mentenace period) In the case of a trade (transfer of the right of use), the expiration date is reset with the chosen period (the maintenance period does not extend) 1 year = 365 days 2

The migration algorithm domains registered before 01.03.2013 will receive a grace period of minimum 3 months for the maintenance service payment so the first domains will expire starting 01.06.2018 5 years (5 * 365 days) will be added to the most recent of the two following dates: the domain registration date or the date of the last domain trade. Example: If the domain was registered on January 1st , 2015 and there was no transfer of the right of use(trade), then the domain will expire on January 1st , 2020; if the domain was registered on January 1st , 2015 and transferred on January 1st , 2017, then the domain will expire on 01.01.2022 expiration dates for domains due to expire before 01.06.2018 (ie a domain registered on 01.01.2010 expires on 01.01.2015), will be distributed over a 6-month period, starting on 01.06.2018 until 30.11.2018, based on the calendar month of the registration date, by grouping two months and keeping the calendar day according to the table on the right.

Minimum requirements for operations Minimum period Maximum period Registration 1 year 10 years Renew Trade* Transfer - Updates (nameservers, contacts) * The maintenance period paid by the previous owner will not be carried over. Ex. : a domain expiring in 2027 with 5 years maintenance paid that enters the Trade procedure will expire in 2022.

When a domain can not be renewed? When a 10-year maintenance period has already been paid. When the domain is in a RenewProhibited state (Rp code).

Registrar Obs. Balance will be automatically changed on March 1st , 2018 Measurement units: domain_number => years_number 100 domains => 600 years Registrar accounts with two types of contracts will be merged The "annual" domains will be transferred to "non-annual" Special Recommendation: The "annual" partners must pass the domains to the registrants by 01.03.2018, The registry will offer the possibility to do this programmatically (based on an annex to the contract) 2 new commands: check-balance check-renewal-availability Registrant data typos and input errors can be corrected within a 24-hour frame (contact-correct)
