When does it finally drop?

[RageD]

I thought the expiration process of a domain was 3 months? Like 3 months after it expires it drops. I've been waiting for a domain to drop since July 2007. Anyone have any ideas why it's still everything prohibited and expired? I'm pretty sure it's an abandoned name.

OK I think I know which domain it is (begins with M)
A lot of .info names were obtained on sunrise through bogus TM claims and then frozen by the registry. They are expired and still held by the registry and nobody knows when they will be released.
That is one possible reason.

But this one is still working even though it has expired. Also no mention of TM number in whois.
I would drop a line to the owner or the registry to find out.
