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 2012-11-24) on 2012-12-06 and available on 2012-12-07. 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 2012-11-24 and allocated (dated 2012-11-24) on 2012-11-25. 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.
