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 2022-05-06) on 2023-05-12 and reserved on 2023-05-13. 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.

Likely issued from AFRINIC-controlled inventory
No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it available on 2022-05-06 and allocated (dated 2022-05-06) on 2022-05-07. It moved from AFRINIC's unissued pool to an active registration dated around that day, so it appears to be newly issued by AFRINIC.

RDAP lookups
Not looked up. The tracker queries RDAP for changes as they're reported (on first sight, after 24 hours and after seven days); older changes aren't looked up because today's RDAP says nothing about the past.
