ARIN's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed
ARIN's statistics show it reserved on 2025-12-23 and available on 2025-12-25. ARIN took it out of its reserved (held) records; its statistics now give it the status 'available'. The tracker saw it removed from registration on 2018-06-06, 2758 days earlier. That is ARIN's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed.

Possible future reissue candidate after hold
Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2018-12-06. 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 allocated (dated 2018-03-13) on 2018-06-05 and reserved on 2018-06-07. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. ARIN holds returned, revoked and reclaimed IPv6 space for 6 calendar months before reissuing it, so the estimated hold end is 2018-12-06. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. ARIN's statistics show it allocated (dated 2011-08-01) on 2018-03-12 and allocated (dated 2018-03-13) on 2018-03-14. The holder's record is the same before and after, so this is a change to the registration, not a change of holder.

Every record in the ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC transfer logs that moved any part of this IPv6 range (ARIN's from 2009, the RIPE NCC's from 2012, APNIC's from 2010, LACNIC's from 2016, AFRINIC's from 2018). A transfer between two registries is in both logs.
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.
