1. Annual maintenance service implementation
Radu Boncea
Software Engineer 1

2. 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

3. The migration algorithm
domains registered before will receive a grace period of minimum 3 months for the maintenance service payment so the first domains will expire starting
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
expiration dates for domains due to expire before (ie a domain registered on expires on ), will be distributed over a 6-month period, starting on until , 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.

* 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.

6. 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).

7. Testing environment
2 registry integration testing environments (see documentatie.rotld.ro)
TEST – testing current version
STAGE – testing next version
Separate accounts, separate DB
Opening accounts

8. 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 , 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)
