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 2016-04-29) on 2016-05-13 and available on 2016-05-14. 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 transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it reserved on 2016-05-03 and assigned (dated 2016-04-29) on 2016-05-04. 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.
