On this...
CIRA is holding all expired names until Jan 17, 2001....at which point
there's a day and a half (about) period where names are available in a 'To
Be Released' status (TBR), where Registrars can use complete different
systems to register them, if and only if the registrant who wants the name
already exists as a data element at CIRA (wha?). If the name is not snatched
during that TBR windows, it get's released and is available in the pool
again.
We've built nothing to grab these TBR names at the moment; I'm speaking with
Scott and our lead .ca developer to figure out what we'll do.
FYI, that TBR status system will continue to exist *after* Jan 17th; each
day, the names that expired yesterday will be available under this weird
system for a few hours, and then released.
More information (for those that don't find my summary entirely complete)
