Eh, no one's fault truly. The registry says "You have 45 days after a domain expires to say you don't want it anymore"
Right. 45 days. This was re-registered by a third party on day 42 or 43.
Okay, just to be clear, who is the 45 days from, you or the registry?We try to do that on day -40 ... since we only run that batch daily, if the registry is down on one day, we have to retry the next day. We built in a few days of buffer in case it takes us a couple to actually delete the domain. We didn't want to have to pay for a renewal on a domain that we wanted to delete, just because there was connectivity issues. The policy a registrar employes is up to them, within the framework and limitations imposed by the registry :)
Anyway, in this case it was broken and we should be able to do something about that.
