Pay no attention to icann exp date.
Follow godaddy autions. But know that they have deals with other domain drop services.
Some will bid on names of a certain grade no matter what, up to some level based on that grade.
Bid what it is worth to you, no more.
You better have a idea what that value is before you start.
The original owner still has a grace period that he/she can pay a higher fee to keep it (something like $75-125)
If you are going above this level, I would contact the owner if you can in this 'no published info' times anymore, and try to make a deal to prevent it from going to auction to the end.
give'm $125-200. But you run the risk alerting him that it has dropped if he/she did not know.
Sometimes domainers let them drop to see if there is any 'real' interest. And pay the fee to keep them, possibly get a 'real' good offer to sell.
Couldn't tell you what the case is.... good luck.
BTW... I do broker names if you need one. But a good drop can be tough for anyone.
Use gfy contact info. If you tell me the name, I may be able to advise more. But I understand if that makes you feel a bit skidish.
