Several public sources
- ICANN邀请在2024年2月8日前对其2023年非洲域名行业研究最终草案提出意见
- 但该报告似乎忽略了非洲DNS生态系统中可以说是最重大的事件
ICANN已就其对非洲域名行业现状的研究最终草案征求意见，该研究旨在识别该行业的优势、劣势与增长机会。 另见: Murat KESKIN.
这份近200页的报告（可在此处查看，由Powersoft Africa在非洲数字联盟倡议下编写）详细介绍了非洲DNS格局的现状、关键特征、增长成就与局限，并认为试验性的DNS观测站将成为追踪域名、网站和DNSSEC增长趋势的重要工具。
然而，过去一年市场中最动荡的事件或许是非洲区域互联网注册管理机构AFRINIC董事会被解散，而该报告仅对此一带而过。这一事件被压缩为报告中间部分仅83个单词的单个段落，如果报告旨在识别市场的潜在弱点与改进机会，这似乎是一个重大疏忽。 另见: 阿尔图斯·凯宁斯（Arturs Kenins）.
ICANN非洲DNS报告对AFRINIC的评论
报告称：“不幸的是，AFRINIC的机构管理目前陷入困境，既无首席执行官，董事会也未达法定人数。2023年9月，法院正式任命毛里求斯官方接管人维持AFRINIC现状，目前它处于接管状态，并受命在六个月内举行选举。ICANN正继续密切关注事态，并旨在提供官方接管人所需的任何支持，以恢复AFRINIC的功能性治理、长期稳定与运营。” 另见: 帕特里克·肯斯托克.
随后，报告便转向其他话题。 另见: 罗曼·罗扎克.

ICANN深知AFRINIC对该区域注册数据库稳定性的重要性。在其2023年简短回顾中，AFRINIC局势被列为13个关键目标之一，其中指出：“ICANN仍致力于区域互联网注册管理机构（RIR）系统的长期可行性，包括为毛里求斯法院先前任命的官方接管人提供中立且专业的观察员。ICANN高级副总裁兼首席技术官John Crain于9月在毛里求斯实地支持这项工作。尽管后续法院文件已暂时解除官方接管人的职责，ICANN组织仍随时准备提供专业知识以支持RIR系统。我们也与其他RIR的领导人保持密切沟通，这极大地改善了我们在监测非洲网络信息中心局势方面的协调。” 另见: 伊斯梅尔·法亚兹以PIONEN名义经营.
John Crain对AFRINIC被简短提及并不太过担忧。他对BTW表示：“AFRINIC是‘号码’注册机构，而非‘域名’注册机构。由于报告聚焦非洲域名行业，AFRINIC不作为重点也是合理的。” 另见: ADAM ROJEK.
而在最近于汉堡举行的ICANN会议上，每当提到非洲，ICANN代表都会抽时间称赞RIR员工在没有CEO或董事会的情况下所做的工作。 另见: Montazh Stroj Servis TOO.
不能低估AFRINIC挑战
毫无疑问，当前的任务充满挑战，而由于非洲事务运作方式缺乏透明度，任务变得更加艰巨。 另见: VERIBLE TELEKOM VE BILISIM TEKNOLOJILERI.
但考虑到非洲大陆的规模、这些问题影响的人数之多，以及确保这个新兴大陆拥有工具和基础设施、使其最优秀与最聪明的人才得以建设和发展从而与全球竞争的重要性，这件事难道不比一个段落更重要吗？

非洲区域互联网注册机构AFRINIC到底怎么了？
自2022年6月毛里求斯最高法院判决解散时任首席执行官Eddy Kayihura以来，AFRINIC一直处于没有CEO和正常运作董事会的状态。2023年9月任命了一名官方接管人，负责监督AFRINIC执行委员会的选举等事务，有望带来急需的稳定。
然而，后续法院文件导致官方接管人无法履行职责，局势陷入法律僵局。
过去几个月，BTW与许多非洲网络运营商和企业交流，他们称自身业务并未受到太大影响。但挫折感正在浮现。在汉堡举行的ICANN非洲会议上，一位来自尼日利亚的与会者表达了他的不满，认为像尼日利亚这样的大国竟被远在印度洋的数千里之外的相对微小国家毛里求斯的法律纠纷所阻碍。他甚至建议允许尼日利亚脱离AFRINIC并建立自己的注册机构。
与此同时，我们希望社群抓住机会发表意见，2024年2月8日前可通过icann.org提交。
