AFRINIC面临治理崩溃
非洲网络信息中心（AFRINIC）处于治理崩溃的中心。它作为非洲区域互联网注册机构（RIR）而创建，但经过多年的管理不善，如今被视为“失败的注册机构”。2023年6月董事会选举的废止源于一场代理争议，这暴露了许多人所说的“无法操作的选举标准”。有效选票被丢弃，削弱了对程序的信任。批评者指出，AFRINIC过去和现在的领导层放任功能失调加剧，侵蚀了治理信任，并将非洲的互联网未来置于风险之中。
Cloud Innovation，AFRINIC的第三大成员，呼吁重启。CI表示，AFRINIC的治理已无可救药，该机构不能再被信任管理非洲的IP资源。CI并未要求建立新的注册机构，而是要求应用ICP-2。根据ICP-2，现有的RIR如RIPE、ARIN或APNIC将接管AFRINIC的职责。CI将此作为保护IP分配连续性和为非洲运营商提供法律确定性的务实步骤。

为何重要
AFRINIC危机不仅关乎失败的选举，也关乎宪法法律在互联网治理中的作用。管理关键IP资源的注册机构必须在清晰合法的结构下运作。没有法律确定性，运营商无法建设网络，投资者无法规划基础设施，公民面临失去可靠数字服务接入的风险。 另见: ZION-AS Zion Boetzel.
Kurtis Lindqvist，ICANN的首席执行官，加剧了争议。他发布了一份新的政策文件，这与长期存在的ICP-2框架不同。ICP-2已存在多年，但Lindqvist的文件赋予了ICANN取消承认RIR的权力。观察人士称Lindqvist的举动是一次“无声的权力夺取”，因为它避开了正常的多利益相关方流程。批评者说，他的计划削弱了非洲自下而上的治理模式，并将外部影响力扩展到区域自治。Lindqvist后来降低了取消承认的威胁，但他引入新框架的事实引发了宪法上的担忧，即这种权力能否在不损害中立治理信心的前提下使用。
对非洲而言，关系重大。IP资源是连接和数字增长的基础。失去区域监管可能会破坏非洲在全球互联网中的角色。法律学者指出，宪法确定性不仅为政府也为跨国技术机构提供稳定。没有这种确定性，运营商将面临不可预测的裁决和法律纠纷，阻碍可靠的治理。 另见: William-Marie DESPORTES.
