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 2019-10-16) on 2025-07-29 and reserved on 2025-07-30. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. AFRINIC publishes no fixed period for which it holds returned IPv6 space before reissuing it, so the tracker gives no estimate. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it not listed on 2019-10-17 and assigned (dated 2019-10-16) on 2019-10-18. It wasn't in AFRINIC's statistics before, so it wasn't AFRINIC's unissued inventory; it may have come from another registry in a transfer not yet in the log.

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.
