[DBWG] ASNs assigned to AFRINIC from IANA (missing from daily stats file)

[James]

Dear DBWG Members,

The resolution was earlier responded to Ronald directly through the
support ticket, however, we also find it imperative to inform the
working group as well.

This issue was caused by an error while handling the ASN resource pool
on Tuesday 17th August and was eventually fixed on Friday 20th.

Thank you and best regards,

James
