If you're meaning unregistered "pre-regs", where the domain already exists
and the administrative contact hasn't re-registered, the domains will be
dropped from the zone file on December 1st, and released back into the
name space on January 31st.
If you're talking 3rd level names (i.e name.on.ca if someone has name.ca),
only the Admin contact of the owner of this name can release it to someone
for purchase. The "glue" for this hasn't been created yet.
I could be a little off on that last bit - I'm just taking over the CIRA
relationship (I'm SO thrilled too....).
