Several public sources
The September 2023 Mauritius receiver order changed AFRINIC's governance problem from a registry dispute into a court-supervised timetable for restoring board elections. The practical issue for members was no longer only who should control the registry; it was whether an Official Receiver could preserve the institution and move it toward an election process that members could verify.
The public record supports a narrow reading. A Supreme Court of Mauritius judgment made the receiver appointment after Cloud Innovation's application. Cloud Innovation's release said the order was intended to preserve AFRINIC's assets and move the registry toward elections. Capacity separately reported that AFRINIC had been placed in receivership and that board elections were to be held within six months.
The signal is governance dependency. AFRINIC resource holders had to watch whether receiver authority, candidate eligibility, voting rules, proxy controls, result publication and the route back to a functioning board would be documented in a way members could reconcile with the court order. The sources do not prove wider misconduct claims or guarantee that the timetable would be met.
