LACNIC's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed
LACNIC's statistics show it reserved on 2017-04-04 and available on 2017-04-05. LACNIC moved it from its reserved (held) records to the status it calls 'available'. That is LACNIC's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed.

Possible future reissue candidate after hold
Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2012-03-18. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.
Removed from active registration. ARIN-Issued didn't list this; the tracker found it by comparing ARIN's daily statistics. ARIN's statistics show it assigned (dated 2001-01-09) on 2012-01-17 and not issued on 2012-01-19. (Until 2013-03-05, ARIN's statistics list only what's issued.) Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. ARIN holds returned, revoked and reclaimed IPv4 space for 60 days before reissuing it, so the estimated hold end is 2012-03-18. This does not confirm availability.

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.
