For Sale Drops haven't stopped

[Whois-Search]

Names that were already in the 5-day drop cycle *before* Jan 25th will still drop - e.g. scrabble.com did

Then the Redemption Grace Period will take over

which is 30 days of registry hold ?

Then they will delete again

"During this 30-day period, the deleted name will be placed on REGISTRY-HOLD, which will cause the name to be removed from the zone. (The domain name therefore will not function/resolve.) This feature will help ensure notice to the registrant that the name is subject to deletion at the end of the Redemption Grace Period, even if the contact data the registrar has for the registrant is no longer accurate."

Then :

"REDEMPTIONPERIOD: The registry sets this status when a registrar requests
that the domain name be deleted from the registry and the domain has been
registered for more than 5 calendar days (if the delete request is received
within 5 days of initial domain registration it will instead be deleted
immediately). The domain will not be included in the zone. The domain can
not be modified or purged; it can only be restored. Any other registrar
requests to modify or otherwise update the domain will be rejected. The
domain will be held in this status for a maximum of 30 calendar days."

Then :

"PENDINGDELETE: The registry sets this status after a domain has been set in
REDEMPTIONPERIOD status and the domain has not been restored by the
registrar. The domain will not be included in the zone. Once in this
status all registrar requests to modify or otherwise update the domain will
be rejected. The domain will be purged from the registry database after
being in this status for 5 calendar days."


So drops will start again in March
