Steve,

It's a bookkeeping process.  If the name's been
expired for a month that means that in the next couple
of weeks it will become available for registering.  I
went through a similar process myself recently.

I do not use NetSol for registrations and the name I
wanted showed free but I could not register it.  I had
to review the Whois database on netSol to find out
what was going on and since the Reserve price was just
about the same I pay for 4 months of hosting, I waited
them out rather than use their "service."

I suggest checking on a daily basis until it becomes
available.  If it really is critical (my circumstance
was not) then you may want to reserve it.

Good luck.
