发生了什么：AFRINIC 治理崩溃
AFRINIC，非洲的地区互联网注册机构（RIR），在多年的治理危机、选举失败和法庭斗争后已进入崩溃状态。该机构曾负责在非洲大陆分配 IP 地址，如今已成为制度崩溃的象征。
但在 AFRINIC 功能失调留下的真空中，互联网名称与数字地址分配机构（ICANN）——一家负责监督全球互联网协调的美国非营利组织——采取了有争议的举措，批评者称这无异于一场静悄悄的权力攫取。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
事态在 2025 年 1 月升级，当时一名代表 ICANN 的律师突然出现在毛里求斯的 AFRINIC 总部，以取回一份机密文件。尽管 ICANN 的首席执行官库尔蒂斯·林德奎斯特（Kurtis Lindqvist）对其意图保持模糊，但观察人士表示，这一举动反映了其日益增强的干预姿态，尽管地方法院仍在审理 AFRINIC 的事务。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.
当林德奎斯特宣布为 AFRINIC 的领导层提供新的“临时解决方案”时，紧张局势达到顶峰——他无视毛里求斯法院批准的选举程序，并以一次有争议的代理投票为由宣布选举结果无效。因一张未经核实的代理票而废止 2024 年 6 月 23 日的选举，导致有效选票被丢弃，暴露了批评者所称的 AFRINIC “无法操作的选举标准”，进一步削弱了对其治理的信任。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·费尔南德斯.
林德奎斯特非但没有支持地区流程，如今却被指控试图“挑选 AFRINIC 的领导人”，此举被视为其影响力的过度延伸，对非洲自下而上的互联网治理模式构成打击。 另见: 阿尔多·加西亚.
隐藏在这一系列事件背后的是 ICANN 备受争议的 ICP-2 合规文件——这是一项很少公开宣传的政策，赋予其取消地区互联网注册机构认可的权力。ICP-2 在未经公众咨询的情况下通过，绕过 ICANN 自身的多利益相关方机制，标志着它与长期标榜的治理模式严重背离。 另见: Alcymer Vieira.

为什么重要
ICANN 在非洲的行动标志着全球互联网治理格局的转折点。它曾是一个中立的技术协调者，如今却被视为一个失控的机构，日益依赖集中决策，并愿意破坏地方法院以强加秩序。 另见: 阿尔西德斯·克雷莫内齐.
批评者认为，林德奎斯特正在利用 AFRINIC 的治理危机来巩固他在非洲大陆的影响力。ICANN 非但没有在非洲法律监督下支持其恢复，反而似乎在推进一项全球议程，排挤地方自主权——进而削弱非洲掌控自身数字未来的能力。 另见: 阿尔贝托·安纳亚.
AFRINIC 的崩溃已经在产生连锁反应：非洲不再有一个值得信赖的机构来管理 IP 地址分配，这使得连接性、路由安全以及整个非洲大陆更广泛的数字基础设施面临严重风险。法律纠纷加上无法修复的治理破坏，使 AFRINIC 成为一个不可靠的机构。 另见: 阿尔伯特·基斯.
然而，林德奎斯特的回应只会加深危机。在威胁取消对 AFRINIC 的认可后又退缩——这一立场在社区愤怒后撤回——显示出一种操纵性、善变的策略。利益相关方现在担心，这可能为其他 RIR 开创一个危险的先例，届时 ICANN 可能会在没有问责的情况下强加合规要求。
这不仅是 AFRINIC 的存亡问题——还关乎 ICANN 多利益相关方治理模式的可信度，以及全球互联网是否保持去中心化、透明化并向其所服务的群体负责。
除非林德奎斯特收敛其过度扩张的行为并尊重地方司法程序，否则非洲的危机可能只是个开始。
