  • AFRINIC董事会选举定于2025年6月举行,旨在多年治理挑战后重建信任。
  • 引入新的验证措施以防止投票操纵,确保由成员主导领导层。

非洲网络信息中心(AFRINIC)已确认将于2025年6月举行拖延已久的董事会选举,这是非洲地区互联网注册机构在经历了治理崩溃、法庭斗争和系统性滥用等动荡时期后寻求复苏的里程碑式进展。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.

AFRINIC选举定于2025年6月

在2025年4月28日发布的公报中,AFRINIC正式宣布了选举日程,启动了自2020年以来因一系列不断升级的法律和行政挑战而暂停的程序。选举由毛里求斯最高法院任命的临时董事会监督进行,该裁决要求AFRINIC在2025年中之前恢复选举程序。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

AFRINIC表示:“这一公告标志着一个关键的转折点。选举将是恢复机构诚信、重建成员和全球合作伙伴信心的基础性步骤。” 另见: 亚历杭德罗·费尔南德斯.

该注册机构引入了一套严格的验证和选民资格协议,以防止以往选举周期中出现的操纵行为。根据新制度,只有正式注册的企业联系人——经过公证文件、官方电子邮件和政府颁发的身份证件验证——才有权投票。这是直接回应在2021–2022年发现的滥用案例,其中内部人员被发现控制休眠或非活跃成员账户以投出多个非法选票。 另见: 阿尔多·加西亚.

AFRINIC指出:“这些前所未有的保障措施旨在确保透明度和成员主导的领导层。”该程序还确保在2023年9月11日(法院裁决之日)之后加入的新成员不具备投票资格,以防止旨在影响结果的填票或协调注册。 另见: Alcymer Vieira.

号码资源协会(NRS)敦促选民夺回控制权

在这些改革中,倡导组织号码资源协会(NRS)在即将到来的选举中成为一个发声积极的角色。在AFRINIC公告之后的一份声明中,NRS称6月的选举是一个难得的机会,可以“夺回”注册机构的控制权,并承诺如果其候选人当选将进行全面改革。

该组织表示:“AFRINIC一直受到腐败、IP盗窃和过高收费的困扰——使成员不确定并面临资源损失的风险。如果NRS候选人获胜,我们将优先考虑成员权利,保障IP所有权,并建立一个财务稳定、无腐败的AFRINIC。” 另见: 阿尔西德斯·克雷莫内齐.

NRS表示希望将AFRINIC打造为“世界领先的RIR——以透明度、效率和问责制为驱动”。预计它将在多个空缺的董事会席位中派出候选人,并曾以恢复信任和改善对成员服务的纲领进行竞选。 另见: 阿尔贝托·安纳亚.

非洲在线业务面临风险

AFRINIC作为非洲唯一的地区互联网注册机构,负责管理该大陆的IP地址分配——这是互联网连接和数字增长的关键功能。该组织的可信度曾因一起广为人知的腐败丑闻而受到严重损害,该丑闻涉及数百万IP地址的涉嫌盗窃以及随后的法院冻结其运营。 另见: 阿尔伯特·基斯.

随着即将举行的选举和行政改革的推进,AFRINIC希望翻开新的一页。

临时董事会表示:“只有通过公平的选举、透明度和问责制,AFRINIC才能恢复其为非洲互联网社区服务的使命。”

鼓励成员在投票前查阅选举指南并确认其凭证。
