Thanks guys, That wasn't as expensive or complicated as I thought it would be originally.
I called GoDaddy for more information as the domain is registered there and they basically couldn't tell me what the hold up was even though it's outside their traditional redemption period. The rep could only say ICANN has been slowing things down as they are instating new policies and what not.
I ended up back-ordering it which only costs $20, which is cheap considering I thought it would be $60+.
For anyone interested for $20 you get the following...
You get updates any changes/updates are made to the domain.
If the domain does get renewed within 45 days (I think he said) you get refunded the money.
The domain will not go to auction in which most times you'll end up paying more and if there is a bidding war...
No waiting. If it moves from the redemption period it will be transferred to me. No waiting for auction period or pre-release period before it can be registered again.
The rep didn't seem too confident, but I asked what if someone else backorders it, and he said it was on a first come first serve... I am first.
I was going to wait it out, but for $20 I can move the process along, cut down on the wait time and competition. Worth it.
