Normally 30 days of redemption period + 5 days pending delete = 35 days.
The clock starts ticking when the domain has entered redemption status, presumably on 23-jan-2012 (Updated Date).

Doesn't it depend on the registrar? I've been told Godaddy domains take 42 days (including 30 days redemption).

need to know the registrar. A quick check of today's drops will reveal their lag. All are different.

The redemption and pending-delete periods are uniform no matter what the registrar.

What varies from one registrar to another is the length of the so-called grace period.
When a domain expires and is not renewed by the holder the registrar usually renews the domain with Verisign. They have up to 45 days to release the domain and get a refund. In the meantime they will typically put the domain to auction unless the holder renews the domain within that time frame.
Without the (courtesy) grace period domain names would enter redemption from day one. Reactivation is expensive.
Some registrars may have no grace period at all

To sum up, what depends on the registrar is the amount of time between domain expiry and start of redemption period: up to 45 days but 30-35 is common.
Since the domain is now in redemption you can start counting days.

I checked the NameJet drop lists for that time period and don't see it. I have partial SnapNames lists from that period and don't see it there either.

On a related note, I see that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.net (the longest length allowed) was dropped in March 2011.

At today dropping domains list most of com's have expiration date from 6th December to 9th December, so I think that you should expect that this domain will drop soon.
