发生了什么：AFRINIC失败之际，一个模糊的框架介入
AFRINIC的崩溃——多年的治理失败、选举被取消、以及一个许多现在认为无法运作的系统——使非洲没有一个合法或功能正常的机构来管理IP地址政策。CAIGA进入了这个真空，这是一个由某些政府和区域机构推动的结构，但缺乏透明度、明确的权威或任何定义的决策过程。
迄今为止发布的CAIGA草案几乎没有详细说明IPv4或IPv6政策将如何形成、谁将拥有投票权，或者该机构如何避免重蹈AFRINIC的覆辙。一些运营商警告说，CAIGA可能集中政治影响力，而不是分配技术专长，从而破坏了社区主导资源管理的原则。
由于ICANN似乎越来越与CAIGA的崛起保持一致，担忧加剧了。ICANN已经因绕过其自身的多利益相关方流程，推行ICP-2合规框架而受到批评，这被广泛视为试图加强对全球RIR结构的控制。观察人士担心，在区域治理最为脆弱之际，ICANN可能利用CAIGA将其触角延伸到非洲的政策制定领域。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.

为什么这很重要
非洲无法承受IP地址治理的不稳定。IPv4的稀缺已经使运营商处于困难境地，而IPv6的过渡需要一致且可信的长期政策。CAIGA缺乏透明度，再加上ICANN日益干预的行为，很可能在本该明确的关键时刻增加更多不确定性。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会：治理非洲互联网的八人.
CAIGA非但不能恢复稳定，反而可能将政治和外部控制插入技术政策制定。这威胁到区域自主性，并削弱了自下而上的治理模式，这种模式传统上在全球互联网生态系统中保护了非洲的利益。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
随着AFRINIC的崩溃，一些利益相关者——包括Cloud Innovation Ltd.，该注册机构的第三大成员——认为非洲需要建立在透明度和运营商参与基础上的真正重置，而不是由已经被批评为过度扩张的机构塑造的模糊架构。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.
非洲的IPv4和IPv6未来取决于可问责的区域结构。CAIGA和ICANN目前的形式，可能只会加深治理危机，而不是解决它。 另见: AFRINIC危机：当接管人成为法律风险.
