A domain name I've been eyeing, has not been renewed by it's registrant this year. The domain was with godaddy.com all these years.

According to godaddy's documentation:


Day 43 We assign the domain name to the winner of the expired domain
name auction, backorder, or closeout. If there are no bidders, we
return the domain name to the registry.


That Day 43 ended on the 19 Nov, 2015, but I still cannot register the domain name, and it shows as Not Available

Whenever I check with whois.godaddy.com, I get the message:


Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Creation Date: 05-OCT-2007
Updated Date: 26-NOV-2015
Expiration Date: 05-OCT-2015

Nameserver: No nameserver

Registry Status: redemptionPeriod


What does this mean, and when can I register this domain?
