It's not only one name. There're a lot of them from various registrars and with various registration/expiration days

From ICANN:

Under current specifications, registry operators (except for .name) will "auto-renew" all domain registrations at the time of their expiration.

Yeah, I had the same question...you need to go by the "status" of the account even though the exp date may show it a year later.
