Several public sources
Le profil public d'Abdelaziz Hilali est passé d'une participation de longue date à la gouvernance d'Internet à un rôle officiel au conseil d'AFRINIC. La page actuelle du conseil d'AFRINIC répertorie le professeur Abdelaziz Hilali comme directeur du siège 1 pour l'Afrique du Nord, vice-président et titulaire d'un mandat de trois ans. L'avis de nomination d'AFRINIC indique que les rôles de président et de vice-président ont fait suite à l'élection du conseil qui s'est tenue le 12 septembre 2025.
Ce rôle s'ajoute à un parcours de gouvernance marocain et africain plus profond. Le matériel de candidature d'AFRINIC identifie Hilali comme marocain, affilié à ISOC Maroc et actif dans la gouvernance d'Internet à travers l'Afrique. Les mêmes documents publics et la liste des membres du FGI le relient à l'INPT, à l'Internet Society Maroc, au MAG du FGI, à AFRALO, à la FMAI et aux travaux d'ICANN At-Large. Voir aussi: Le conseil d'AFRINIC confronté à un test de légitimité.
Cela rend le profil utile pour les lecteurs qui suivent les registres, car la reprise d'AFRINIC dépend autant de la légitimité que de la prestation de services techniques. Un vice-président ayant des racines universitaires, ISOC et At-Large peut contribuer à signaler l'inclusion régionale et la continuité de la communauté des politiques. La limite est tout aussi importante: les sources publiques ne montrent pas Hilali dirigeant les allocations, les résultats de routage ou les opérations quotidiennes du registre. Voir aussi: Conseil d'administration d'AfriNIC: les huit qui gouvernent l'internet africain.
Le point de surveillance pratique est de savoir si ce rôle au conseil produit une stabilisation visible: un engagement plus clair des membres, un travail de comité crédible, des progrès dans la transition de la mise sous séquestre, la confiance dans l'élaboration des politiques et une participation nord-africaine plus forte à la reconstruction institutionnelle d'AFRINIC.
