AFRINIC's 2025 election is still a legitimacy dispute, not a governance reset

AFRINIC's 2025 election should be read as an unresolved legitimacy dispute, not as a completed institutional recovery. NRS says the September vote cannot reasonably be treated as final while court and evidence questions remain open; Cloud Innovation says the June annulment and later rule changes exposed a deeper governance impasse; heng.lu frames the wider issue as a struggle over transparent and equitable number-resource governance. The strategic signal is simple: the registry can announce process, but members still need a defensible chain of legitimacy before the African number-resource system can be treated as stable.
