I am following a few domains. They are in redemption period but it says they expire in 2006. So does it mean they will be in redemption period till 2006 or ..?
 
No. What it means is that they were auto-renewed at the registry level, but if you do not redeem through the registrar, then the registry fee to the registrar will be refunded and they will go into the delete queue.
 
Redemption period is like 30-45 days AFTER they expire when the registar holds them but if they are redemption period i think they will drop in 30-40 days.

But as your saying in april maybe there is a problem from the whois or the real owner or so.

Regards
 
Cool, I hope I catch them soon then
 
There are actually 2 levels of grace periods. 1 is of the registrar's own when the domain is like jberryhill said auto-renewed at the registry level. This will usually last from about 30 - 40 days for most registrars but definitely not exceed 45 days which is the registry refund deadline. During this period, you will see the expiry date extended for another year. If the existing owner does not renew the expired domain, it will enter the official registry-level RGP (Redemption Grace Period). It lasts EXACTLY 30 calendar days; then the domain will be sent to the pending delete queue and let drop eventually.
