Summary

  • The dated call says AfNOG Convenors and AfriNIC Management make the final host selection and their decision is final.
  • The reviewed page does not publish a narrow correction or reconsideration path.

Finality can give a time-sensitive event decision operational certainty. But a finality clause and a correction rule answer different questions: one ends ordinary contest; the other handles a material factual mistake, eligibility error or information unavailable before the decision.

The reviewed page names the selectors and says their decision is final. It does not publish who may request reconsideration, permissible grounds, a filing deadline, who reviews the request, whether implementation pauses, or whether reasons are issued.

The page refers to AIS 2021–2023 and a January 2020 deadline. It is a dated governance artifact, not evidence of the current AIS 2026 process. A correction mechanism may have existed internally. This analysis does not allege an unlawful decision, a denied appeal or an actual procedural error.

A narrow rule could preserve finality while allowing one documented request on specified grounds, decided promptly by a named reviewer with a short reasons record.
