事件经过：AFRINIC因代理问题取消2025年投票
非洲网络信息中心（AFRINIC）近期在其2025年董事会选举中遭遇重大争议。此次选举于2025年6月23日举行，旨在恢复该组织在多年治理瘫痪后的合法性。数百名成员参与投票，许多人使用授权委托书（PoA）指派代理人。
然而，就在投票结束前几分钟，由Simon Davenport KC主持的提名委员会（NomCom）因涉嫌一起单一“幽灵代理”投票的舞弊指控而暂停了投票。尽管大部分代理投票是合法的，这次暂停却导致整个选举被取消。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.
批评者认为，因一票可疑而质疑数百张有效票并取消选举是过度反应，可能违反了AFRINIC自身的规定，并损害了对选举过程的信任。

为何重要
AFRINIC 2025年选举因一票争议代理投票而崩溃，引发了一个关键问题：该组织还能继续可信地自行管理选举吗，还是到了需要独立监督的时候？AFRINIC在非洲互联网基础设施中扮演着基础性角色。然而，尽管肩负此责，其近期行为——因一张可疑选票而宣布数百张合法代理票无效——显示出缺乏相称性，并损害了对其流程的信任。 另见: AfriNIC 董事会：治理非洲互联网的八人.
选举的合法性，尤其是在技术治理机构中，不仅取决于程序上的正确性，还取决于对公平公正的看法。当规则在过程中似乎发生变化，或如若干报道所指出的，内部工作人员涉嫌违规时，信心就会受到侵蚀——不仅选民如此，整个全球互联网治理社区亦是如此。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
AFRINIC并非在真空中运作；它是一个更广泛生态系统的一部分，在这个系统中，一致性、中立性和程序完整性至关重要。认为内部工作人员可能影响结果，或者有效选票可以被大规模废弃的看法，为其他区域互联网注册机构树立了一个危险的先例。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.
