auto-rp help needed - one more detail

Just one more detail to be precise. Actually the group mappings start off
like this when the announcement from the RP for 239/8 (10.1.99.2) is heard
first at the MA:

R2#sh ip pim rp map
PIM Group-to-RP Mappings
This system is an RP-mapping agent (Loopback99)

Group(s) 224.0.0.0/4
  RP 10.1.60.6 (?), v2v1
    Info source: 10.1.60.6 (?), elected via Auto-RP
         Uptime: 00:00:25, expires: 00:01:04
Group(s) (-)239.0.0.0/8
  RP 10.1.99.2 (?), v2v1
    Info source: 10.1.99.2 (?), elected via Auto-RP
         Uptime: 00:00:27, expires: 00:01:01
  RP 10.1.60.6 (?), v2v1
    Info source: 10.1.60.6 (?), via Auto-RP
         Uptime: 00:00:25, expires: 00:01:04
R2#

Then after a few mintues, the announcement from 10.1.99.2 is removed (seems
that the following announcements from the same RP do not refresh it for some
reason). We converge to this:

R2#sh ip pim rp map
PIM Group-to-RP Mappings
This system is an RP-mapping agent (Loopback99)

Group(s) 224.0.0.0/4
  RP 10.1.60.6 (?), v2v1
    Info source: 10.1.60.6 (?), elected via Auto-RP
         Uptime: 00:02:16, expires: 00:01:14
Group(s) (-)239.0.0.0/8
  RP 10.1.60.6 (?), v2v1
    Info source: 10.1.60.6 (?), elected via Auto-RP
         Uptime: 00:02:16, expires: 00:01:14
R2#
