I just re-read the notice again, and I can't see how they can be dropped unless they have the not required tag, which I have only seen twice, or they are recently cancelled but they wouldn't follow 92/99 would they ?
I'm hoping there are still drops but not holding my breath and its not just the odd one that had the not-required thing.

Surely if no notices was sent out for 5-6 weeks, then all domains in that time block other than manual cancels, and such like would be 'affected' ?
I gotta meeting at 10am so I better get a few hours sleep, and hopefully when I check before I go there will lots of green dots

I agree with Dave on this, I just caught a DETAGGED domain, but nothing else seems to be going. None I was watching went yesterday.

Not fair, dummy out the pram time
Just getting the hang of this uk dropping game and something messes it up.
Been in the .com dropping game since 2001 though, so nominet is still a far cry better than I Can't

Aye, .com is a monopoly, and if you want a .com it IS going to auction. Simple as that.
Hope nominet don't go down that route.

I wonder if all the drops will reset at the end of the period so that they're still 92/99 days out from the new drop date, or they'll all drop at once, or what? It's very weird having just the barest handful of domains dropping each day.

It's my understanding that 4 batches will be sent out to registrants at random intervals.

In which case, unless something changes on the Whois we literally won't know when anything will drop. Bonanza for the smaller catchers, as the big players are still presumably going to stick to focusing on 1-2 "excellent" domains per day. But of course the waiting is going to be painful
How is that in keeping with "Restart the renewals clock"? The way I read it is that each daily batch will be delayed and therefore maintains the 99-92 pattern.

Restarting the renewals clock for the registrant, not for the dropcatchers. We don't know when the clock is restarting from.
