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 2025-06-26) on 2025-07-11 and not listed on 2025-07-12. Being gone from AFRINIC's statistics entirely can also mean it moved to another registry. 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.

Likely issued from AFRINIC-controlled inventory
No transfer record matches. AFRINIC's statistics show it available on 2025-06-26 and assigned (dated 2025-06-26) on 2025-06-27. 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.
