Yeah!

Just detected this too. This means, you don't need
to recurse to the (often unreliable) registrars, and
you have a common date format (instead of a
bunch of different formats) to parse.

Why the hell can't those things be announced in advance?

BUT - Can you trust it?

Here's pen.net. Expiration at Verisign is set
to 04-jan-2004 whereas netsol states
06-Jan-2003. Do they put in a dummy date
for domains at REGISTRAR-HOLD and
is it likely to drop now? :confused:

This change on InterNIC whois happened because ICANN begin to implement Redemption Grace Periods, which extending the Delete Pending Period on Registry level from five 5 days to thirty 30 days. It is good news for domain name owers forgetting to pay renewing fee, and really bad news for domain name speculators.

For more on Redemption Grace Periods, I suggest you to visit

BUT, this ROCKS!

Registrars may only RESTORE Registered Names in order to correct unintentional deletions caused by registrant, registrar, or registry mistake (or as required by operation of the UDRP or other applicable dispute resolution policy in order to implement a court, arbitral tribunal or Administrative Panel decision). Registrars should not restore names in order to assume the rights to use or sell them.

First off, these new info are NOT necessarily correct:

http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19780

Moreover, the so-called Redemption Grace Periods don't really matter since almost all registrars NEVER delete names not until after some 30 days. Their concern is more about getting the refund from the registry within the 45-day grace period.
