  • 批评人士称,智慧非洲的愿景掩盖了深层的制度失败,回避了非洲互联网治理危机的责任。
  • ICANN和CAIGA越来越被视为外部或精英驱动的项目,它们削弱而非加强了区域自主权。

发生了什么:宏大的数字议程推进,治理却在崩溃

智慧非洲的启动曾承诺通过政策协调、公私合作伙伴关系和跨境合作来加速非洲的数字转型,正如智慧非洲联盟所概述的那样。然而,随着时间的推移,批评人士认为,该倡议越来越脱离非洲互联网治理失败的现实。

最显著的例子是AFRINIC,即负责管理非洲IP地址资源的区域互联网注册管理机构的崩溃。经过多年的治理争议、法律诉讼和有争议的董事会程序,AFRINIC被利益相关者普遍视为一个失败的注册机构。其6月23日董事会选举的取消,起因于一起未经核实的代理争议,并导致有效选票被丢弃,这强化了人们对于AFRINIC内部民主治理已经无法运作的看法。

面对这种制度性的崩溃,智慧非洲并未直接应对,而是继续推进高层的数字框架,这引发了对其优先事项的质疑。批评者认为,建立在脆弱基础上的数字战略有可能沦为政策作秀,只提供华美的言辞,而没有实际的制度支撑。

与此同时,拟议中的非洲大陆互联网治理架构(CAIGA)也成为另一个令人担忧的因素。CAIGA虽被宣传为一种协调机制,但在决策权、问责制和监督方面缺乏明确性。观察人士警告称,它有可能将权力集中于政治和精英行为者手中,而将支撑非洲互联网的技术社群边缘化。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.

外部影响与精英治理加剧不信任

怀疑情绪因ICANN的角色而进一步加剧。ICANN曾被视为中立的协调者,但如今越来越多地被描述为正在失去对自身流程的控制,同时过度干预区域治理。它试图在遵循法院批准的程序后干预AFRINIC事务,引发了反弹,并令人担忧非洲自下而上的互联网治理模式正在遭到破坏。

关注焦点还集中在ICANN的ICP-2合规框架上,该框架的采用并未经过完整的多利益攸关方程序。批评者将其描述为一次悄无声息的权力攫取,赋予ICANN前所未有的权力,可以威胁取消区域互联网注册管理机构的承认。尽管ICANN此后在AFRINIC问题上缓和了言辞,但许多人认为这只是战略性的姿态调整,并非真正尊重区域自主权。

除非非洲的数字议程正视制度失败、恢复治理信任并抵制外部过度干预,否则怀疑情绪很可能持续存在。没有这种重置,数字转型的承诺就有可能只停留在口号层面,而非带来实质性的改变。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会:治理非洲互联网的八人.
