Possible future reissue candidate after hold

Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing AFRINIC's daily statistics. AFRINIC's statistics show it allocated (dated 2013-08-07) on 2026-10-29 and reserved on 2026-10-30. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. AFRINIC publishes no fixed period for which it holds returned ASNs before reissuing them, so the tracker gives no estimate. This does not confirm availability.
