The midwives I work with wait until the cord stops pulsing or the placenta is out, depending on the length of the cord.

Never done it sooner than 10 minutes, most often it is at least 15-20 or more (kind of depends on when mom is ready to push out placenta--cord generally gets cut just before or after the placenta comes out).
