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 assigned (dated 2019-11-04) on 2020-04-17 and available on 2020-04-18. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. AFRINIC publishes no fixed period for which it holds returned IPv4 space before reissuing it, so the tracker gives no estimate. This does not confirm availability.

No effect on AFRINIC applicant inventory

No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it reserved on 2018-11-01 and assigned (dated 2018-11-01) on 2018-11-02. The tracker saw it removed from registration on 2018-03-07 (239 days earlier), and it is back with the same holder record it had before, so it went back to its previous holder rather than to a new one: most likely a suspension lifted, a reinstatement or a correction.

No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it available on 2016-09-19 and assigned (dated 2016-09-12) on 2016-09-20. The new registration isn't dated near that day, so the tracker can't tell whether this is a new issuance.

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.
