Domain status question

[NetworkDad]

There's a domain out there that i want to register. The current ownership expired on 4/22/03, but now the domain is listed as:
Status: REGISTRAR-HOLD

How long will it be like this before its available again ??

Thanks..

might help

also found this:

"Most registrars allow at least a 15 day grace period after a domain name expires for the registrant to renew it. That grace period can be as long as one year in some cases. If the current registrant does not renew it in the time allotted then that domain name should become available. The actual grace period is different for each individual registrar."

Godaddy gives you like a 30 day grace period to renew after your domain expires.
