Whats up with Enom?

[RMF]

I'm watching a domain that expired 2 months ago. The whois says it has expired, but the domain is still active. The domain has not gone into on-hold status or redemption period yet.

Register.com tends to do that too, while NetSol's gotten better about it. I've found that this generally means it may go to Registrar-Hold or RedemptionPeriod at any time. As far as I know, there's no hard and fast rule that says that they have to pull the trigger. Just financial incentive to do it as soon after a registry-autorenew as possible. After 45 days, I'm not sure it matters much to them.

Many registrars are beginning to send out e-mails to people requesting that the owners keep their contact data current. I'm thinking its in prep for WLS. Maybe eNom is delaying some deletions as a side-effect of trying to catch up with their mail-outs. A thought.

It seems the new ICANN ruling has kicked in, nex.
