  • 尽管有法院监督,毛里求斯信息通信技术部(Mauritian Ministry of ICT)和警方仍暂停了AFRINIC的私人董事会选举。
  • 专家警告,这次干预可能为政府权力凌驾于私人实体之上开创一个令人不安的先例。

2025年AFRINIC选举丑闻如何曝光

在2025年6月23日于毛里求斯举行的董事会选举期间,据报AFRINIC选举委员会的一名成员违反保密规定,将一份授权书(PoA)带出投票室。据报道,此人随后直接联系了资源持有者。选举章程明确禁止此类行为,但这却发生在其他委员会成员众目睽睽之下。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

这一违规行为是导致选举暂停的多个原因之一。提名委员会主席西蒙·达文波特(Simon Davenport KC,皇家大律师)在内部员工确认选票和代理文件处理不当下,中止了选举进程。暂停后不久,法院指定的接管人戈塔姆辛格·达比(Gowtamsingh Dabee)宣布投票无效,并要求在9月30日前重新举行选举。

章程在委员会众目睽睽之下被违反

AFRINIC章程要求选举委员会成员严格保密并不予披露。第4.6条规定,成员在处理选票前必须签署保密协议。取走授权书并联系资源持有者的行为,违反了该协议。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·费尔南德斯.

此外,不当取出和据称丢失授权书文件,破坏了公平代理投票。ISPA南非分会(ISPA South Africa)报告称,一些代理文件在记录中“神秘失踪”,并且在某些情况下,向拥有不到2400名成员的数据库提交了800多份代理书。 另见: 阿尔多·加西亚.

代理混乱引发工作人员干预

内部人士称,对代理书合法性的困惑促使了该工作人员的行为。一位AFRINIC消息人士指出,在被质疑时,此人联系了一位资源持有者,而后者随后否认曾授予该授权书。 另见: Alcymer Vieira.

然而,批评者认为,仅因一次事件就暂停整个进程过度了。目前尚未公布任何公开证据表明存在普遍篡改或欺诈——尽管ICANN和ISPA已就可能存在的违规行为发出警告。 另见: 阿尔西德斯·克雷莫内齐.

法律专家称违规行为对治理构成威胁

开普敦大学法律专家苏珊娜·哈布蒂(Susanna Habti)教授表示:“将选票带出房间并直接联系资源持有者,是严重的程序违规,从根本上破坏了选举透明度。”她警告称,此类行为如不加以制止,将削弱机构的公信力。 另见: 阿尔贝托·安纳亚.

ICANN总裁库尔特-埃里克·林德奎斯特(Kurt-Erik Lindqvist)指责AFRINIC违反了自身规则,并警告除非进行全面透明的重新计票,否则将进行合规审查或实施制裁。 另见: 阿尔伯特·基斯.

社区的愤怒与对透明度的要求

暂停和无效决定立即引发关切。ISPA南非分会要求公布代理名单,并对现场投票实行更严格的身份验证。

AFRINIC接管人戈塔姆辛格·达比承诺重建流程,并说:“我们共同的优先事项是维护透明度、公平性以及AFRINIC及其成员的最佳利益。”他立即向最高法院请愿,要求在更严格的监督下重新举行选举。

AFRINIC的公信力和全球信任面临风险

选举诚信的丧失,可能危及外界对其治理更广泛的信心。如果根本原因未得到透明处理,ICANN可能会升级合规审查,甚至将AFRINIC的职责转移给其他注册管理机构。

恢复对AFRINIC选举进程信任的必要措施

要向前迈进,AFRINIC不仅必须改革其程序,还必须公布被无效选举的全部结果。透明度至关重要。公布原始计票结果和经过核实的代理记录清单,将显示出对问责制的真正承诺。这也有助于重建成员间的信心,许多成员仍然对闭门会议中发生的事感到不确定。公开这些详细信息,是表明AFRINIC尊重自身规则和社区信任的第一步。如果不对错误保持开放态度,未来的改革将缺乏可信度,即将到来的选举可能面临类似质疑。

常见问题

  1. 工作人员取出授权书违反了哪条规定?
    他们违反了AFRINIC选举章程第4.6条,该条款要求选举委员会成员保密且不得泄露。
  2. 为何在发生一次授权书事件后就暂停了选举?
    官员担心存在更大的代理相关问题。尽管中止过程超出比例,但最终导致法院任命的接管人宣布选举无效。
  3. 谁就违规行为发出警报?
    ISPA南非分会和ICANN均向当局发出警报。ICANN警告将进行合规审查,而ISPA则提交了刑事申诉并呼吁代理透明度。
  4. 如果AFRINIC未能重建信心,可能发生什么?
    ICANN可能会制裁AFRINIC,甚至将非洲IP号码管理权转移给其他RIR,从而危及地区互联网协调的稳定性。
  5. 下一次选举何时举行?
    最高法院授权在2025年9月30日前完成新选举。
