Here's how it works:

You report the domain to ICANN, ICANN tells the registrar about it. The registrar contacts the customer about the domain and tells them to review the info to make sure it's ok. *Most* of the time, the person will just buy proxied whois or ignore the email. I would say it's very rare that the registrar goes through with it and puts the domain in the queue to be deleted. If so, the drop process takes from 36-76+ days (see "Unpaid Names Dept" @ Register.com).
