There is NO evidence that it was an "active domain" name: in-use yes,
but apparently not having a paid-up registration. The real problem is
that ICAN does not have any 'grace period' that keeps a name that has
expired. It could have been the fault of the domain registration
service that failed to get the registration paid/registered in time.

It is this zero tolerance policy that is taken advantage of by domain
squatters/robbers. - RM
