治理对决：AFRINIC、IANA与代理投票
2025年6月23日，AFRINIC在毛里求斯举行了自2022年被法院接管以来的首次线下董事会选举。选举在投票结束前几分钟突然被暂停。提名委员会称原因是一份涉嫌未经授权的代理投票。AFRINIC工作人员表示他们联系了该代理授权人，对方否认曾授权。基于此，超过800份合法提交的代理投票被作废。代理投票长期以来一直是AFRINIC选举流程的一部分，通过公证授权书进行并被秘书处接受。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会：治理非洲互联网的八人.
这一突然举动引起哗然。成员们——尤其是服务不足地区的小型运营商——依赖代理投票。许多人认为取消选举过度且程序上存在缺陷。没有上诉渠道，没有独立审计，也没有相称的应对措施。利益相关方指责提名委员会利用单一事件破坏选举过程。
几天内，毛里求斯一个互联网服务提供商联盟提起刑事诉讼。ICANN也启动正式调查，要求完全透明和公平选举。号码资源组织（NRO）随后发表声明，敦促AFRINIC尊重社区制定的规则并恢复信任。这些声明凸显了对AFRINIC治理标准及其对成员责任的日益担忧。

法律拉锯战：IANA的角色与IP所有权
自2021年年中以来，AFRINIC一直与Cloud Innovation Ltd陷入诉讼纠纷。该公司在塞舌尔注册，拥有超过600万个IPv4地址。AFRINIC试图以涉嫌违反政策为由收回这些IP，但Cloud Innovation在法庭上反击。争议迅速从技术政策执行升级为涉及法律管辖权、RIR权威以及非洲互联网号码资源所有权的问题。 另见: AFRINIC危机：当接管人成为法律风险.
毛里求斯法院的回应是冻结AFRINIC的银行账户，并在2022年底将该组织置于司法接管之下。法院指定的接管人暂停了董事会选举并持续掌控。2025年6月19日，ICANN向法院提交正式请愿书，要求紧急进行治理改革，包括重组委员会和重新举行可信选举。法院于6月20日批准。接管人须在2025年9月30日前重启选举进程。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
但这次法律和行政干预将另一个问题推到了前台：谁真正拥有IP地址？AFRINIC在IANA的监督下运作，但其权力基于社区制定的政策，而非绝对所有权。IP地址是根据证明的需求进行分配——而非出售。Cloud Innovation辩称，一旦资源发放，就成为接收方的合法财产。AFRINIC和ICANN反驳了这一点，称分配权并不等同于所有权。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.
这场对峙揭示了脆弱的平衡。一边是AFRINIC这样的注册机构，承担管理职责；另一边是Cloud Innovation这样的公司，寻求法律上的控制权保障。随着非洲网络的扩展，这些IP地址块的价值也在增长——尤其是几近枯竭的IPv4。在治理受到审视之际，要求IANA执行更明确规则并敦促AFRINIC重建公信力的呼声日益高涨。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·费尔南德斯.
