  • 2025年6月23日,AFRINIC因一起有争议的代理投票引发了员工干预和批量作废的担忧,随后取消了董事会选举。
  • ICANN已正式警告,若无透明的IP分配和选举改革,AFRINIC可能失去其授权,并延缓向非洲网络分配资源。

问题:选举危机与代理投票处理

2025年6月23日,AFRINIC举行了自2022年被法院接管以来的首次线下董事会选举。就在毛里求斯投票即将结束时,选举被叫停。提名委员会称原因是对一张有争议的代理投票存疑:工作人员联系了声称的投票人,而该投票人否认授权了该票。基于这一单独事件,委员会作废了800多张代理选票,并取消了选举。并未确认存在欺诈,只是该选票在投票结束时无法核实。

这一决定在AFRINIC社区引发了强烈反对。许多成员认为,宣布无效在程序上不公正,并对偏远或网络连接不足地区的运营者造成了不成比例的影响——对于这些地区,代理投票是必要的。批评者还质疑缺乏透明度——没有独立审计,没有申诉程序,也没有相称性考量。投票过程中的工作人员干预进一步引起警觉,因为这可能侵犯了投票人隐私。

AFRINIC的治理结构再次受到审视。负责确保选举公正性的提名委员会本身就是由董事会任命,缺乏明确的独立性。其单方面暂停投票——没有公开听证或多利益相关方协商——加深了不信任,使社区陷入僵局。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.

解决方案:要求透明的IP分配和治理改革

2025年6月6日——即投票前两周——ICANN发布了一封公开信,敦促AFRINIC的法院指定接管人执行公正的选举程序。该信强调需要公布选民名册,确保对委员会权力的制衡,并建立机制在不剥夺成员权利的情况下解决争议。当AFRINIC未能采纳这些建议,并最终因代理问题取消投票时,事态升级。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会:治理非洲互联网的八人.

这不仅仅是选举问题。自2022年以来,合法董事会的缺失严重延迟了整个非洲的IP地址和ASN分配。多个地区的互联网服务提供商报告称,由于资源请求待处理,项目被冻结并实行带宽配给。一个透明且负责的IP分配系统现在被视为至关重要——不仅为了公平,也为了运营的连续性。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.

社区提出的改革方案包括:公开所有IP地址块的申请和审批情况,维护分配的实时审计跟踪,并制定明确的资源回收和转移规则。同时,成员们呼吁彻底改革AFRINIC的选举框架:从设定透明的投票程序,到定义有效代理和申诉权的标准。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

如果不采取行动,可能引发更广泛的后果。ICANN和全球RIR体系有赖于AFRINIC保持合法性。没有它,非洲唯一的区域注册管理机构可能失去其授权——并随之失去支持整个非洲大陆互联网增长的能力。 另见: AFRINIC危机:当接管人成为法律风险.
