- AFRINIC 目前拥有“申报公司”地位，但这一标签无法掩盖其作为职能注册机构的崩溃。
- 治理危机加深，暴露了 AFRINIC 的结构性失败，以及进行全面区域重置的日益增长的迫切性。
申报公司，但失败的注册机构
毛里求斯总理最近将非洲互联网注册机构 AFRINIC 指定为“申报公司”。这可能看似程序性，但它标志着 AFRINIC 管理不善和腐败运作长期传奇中的一个关键时刻。
这一认定确认了 AFRINIC 的法律注册地位，并围绕董事会问责和法律合规设定了某些期望。然而，这远远没有表明治理转变，反而是一个已经失去运营信誉的机构采取的最后一搏的形式主义。
尽管 AFRINIC 在技术上保留对非洲 IP 地址分配的权力，但作为区域互联网注册管理机构 (RIR)的有效性已经被掏空。“申报”标签并没有改变它无法在没有法院干预的情况下运行公平选举、维持正常运作的董事会或管理核心职能的事实。这一转变不是加强合法性，而是突显了 AFRINIC 已经偏离了自下而上的治理和成员信任的原则有多远。

公司地位无法解决功能失调
多年的治理瘫痪、董事会辞职和司法接管使 AFRINIC 结构上已经破裂。成为申报公司可能使 AFRINIC 符合毛里求斯法律，但这无助于解决根本的腐朽：无法运作的选举、内部僵局和领导力的缺失。其2025 年 6 月的董事会选举被取消，不是因为代理投票无效，而是由于一个未解决的争议——这一结果抛弃了成员的意见，加剧了不信任。
公司地位也没有改变 AFRINIC 问责机制失效的事实。该机构仍然缺乏一个完全运作的董事会，日常控制权仍掌握在法院指定的接管人手中。对于等待资源分配的成员来说，AFRINIC 的新标签丝毫不能改变它无法提供基本服务的事实。正式地位与实际功能之间的差距从未如此之大。

ICANN 的扩张角色引发警示
随着 AFRINIC 的动摇，ICANN 采取了更加引人注目和具有争议的立场。通过发布合规警告并建议审查，ICANN 不再表现得像全球互联网政策的中立管理者。批评者认为 ICANN 正在越权——无视区域自治，自行决定谁管理非洲 IP 资源。其使用在缺乏适当多利益相关方参与下制定的ICP-2 合规框架，被视为一种静悄悄的夺权机制。
这一权力转移遭遇了抵抗。Cloud Innovation Ltd.，AFRINIC 的第三大成员，已正式要求解散 AFRINIC 并任命一个继任 RIR。他们的立场凸显了 ICANN 模棱两可的后果：在威胁取消承认的同时未能设立替代方案，ICANN 为非洲的 IP 治理带来了更多不稳定性。AFRINIC 的“申报”地位无法解决这一制度困境。

信任已失——接下来会发生什么？
AFRINIC 的申报公司地位无法恢复多年来失败所摧毁的东西：信任、透明度和区域合法性。没有选举，没有领导力，没有成员之间的共识，该注册机构不再能够代表非洲在全球互联网治理中的利益。程序上的转变提供了法律掩护，而非结构性的更新。
越来越多要求 AFRINIC 解散的呼声并非意识形态——它们是对一个失败系统的回应。像 Cloud Innovation 这样的机构正在推动建立一个新的注册机构，一个能够以透明、问责和功能性的方式管理 IP 分配的机构。随着 ICANN 继续摇摆不定，它面临一个选择：尊重区域自决的原则，还是通过延长 AFRINIC 的空洞存在来加深危机。AFRINIC 作为一个职能注册机构的时代已经结束。接下来必须在更明确的规则、更好的监督和更强的合法性基础上建立。
