- 毛里求斯最高法院驳回了 ICANN 重组 AFRINIC 提名委员会并推迟 2025 年选举的动议，称 ICANN 的干预“不当”、“不合理”且超越了其管辖权。
- 法院强调必须尽快举行选举以组建正式的 AFRINIC 董事会，推翻了延迟选举的禁令，并允许电子投票和现场投票按计划于 6 月 16 日至 23 日进行。
ICANN 在 AFRINIC 选举前重组提名委员会的请求已被毛里求斯最高法院驳回。
在 BTW Media 获得的会议记录中，法院表示：“尽管申请人没有出庭资格向本法院提出此类申请……关于立即重组提名委员会……我认为申请人的行为不当，如果坚持这样做，将与组建 AFRINIC 董事会的目标背道而驰，ICANN 的行为也将是不合理和不负责任的。”
这项裁决表明，ICANN 不仅试图不合理且不正当地干预 AFRINIC 选举，而且其没有这样做的法律管辖权。短语“没有出庭资格”意味着法院不承认 ICANN 与当前事件有足够关联来干预。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.
尽管如此，ICANN 在非洲互联网社区的参与度正在不断提升。首席执行官兼总裁 Kurt Lindqvist 将出席 7 月份的 AI for Africa 活动，目前 ICANN 正在摩洛哥马拉喀什参加 SIT Africa Forum。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
ICANN 对 AFRINIC 选举的干预
ICANN 提出了一项重组提名委员会的动议，此前其对一家涉及针对 AFRINIC 诉讼的公司以注册成员身份出现在 AFRINIC 表示“担忧”。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

但 AFRINIC 随后更正了这一注册，通知其资源成员，将 Cloud Innovation Ltd 注册为 AFRINIC 的注册成员是一个错误。 另见: AFRINIC危机：当接管人成为法律风险.
ICANN 总法律顾问兼秘书 John Jeffrey 在 LinkedIn 上发帖确认了这一点，他表示：“今天早些时候，ICANN 在毛里求斯最高法院（破产庭）成功获得了一项裁决，命令 AFRINIC 的接管人向所有资源成员发布公告，说明将 Cloud Innovation Ltd 列为注册成员是错误的。法院指出 Cloud Innovation Ltd 仅仅是资源成员。” 另见: 会计师 Gowtamsingh Dabee 掌管非洲互联网.
然而，他和 ICANN 关于“ICANN 成功获得了一项裁决”的说法也遭到了 AFRINIC 的质疑，AFRINIC 在一份评论中表示：“我们也注意到，ICANN 的总法律顾问最近错误地报告称 ICANN 成功获得了一项裁决——这并不反映今天法庭程序的实际情况……” 另见: 阿卜杜勒阿齐兹·希拉利的 AFRINIC 角色为北非治理增添份量.
毛里求斯最高法院表示：“……这不能再成为阻止选举并重新启动整个 AFRINIC 董事会成员选举组织过程的充分和适当理由。 另见: 阿德沃尔·大卫·阿乔的 AFRINIC 董事会角色将互联政策带入决策层.
“AFRINIC 一直在没有正式董事会的真空中运作，这种状况不能持续下去，只会损害其成员和公司的利益。
“因此，我认为所寻求的命令将违背举行选举以组建 AfriNIC 董事会的精神和基本原则。”
不再拖延
此外，在坦桑尼亚互联网服务提供商协会（TISPA）因投票权问题寻求临时命令以推迟投票后，延迟选举的禁令也被推翻了。
毛里求斯最高法院撤销了暂停选举的临时命令，以允许电子投票按时开始（6 月 16 日至 23 日），并让现场投票按计划于 6 月 23 日进行。
