AFRINIC's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed

AFRINIC's statistics show it reserved on 2012-11-24 and available on 2012-11-25. AFRINIC moved it from its reserved (held) records to the status it calls 'available'. That is AFRINIC's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed. Another change to this range was reported the day before or after (2012-11-25: Added 197.235.0.0/16), so the before-and-after statistics may include it.

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.
