多个公开来源
- 大多数非洲科技初创企业间接获取AFRINIC资源，因此缺乏投票权或政策影响力。
- 参与度低导致治理决策由传统参与者主导，削弱了非洲在全球互联网政策中的话语权。
结构性障碍将初创企业拒之门外
虽然AFRINIC的选举制度在技术上对所有资源成员开放，但大多数初创企业并未持有直接会员资格。许多企业依赖电信运营商、托管服务商或云平台来获取IP资源，这意味着他们并非注册选民，也不会收到政策更新或选举通知。即使是在直接会员中，行政要求、不明确的代理规则和有限的数字支持也阻碍了参与。
因一次代理权争议引发的六月2025年董事会选举无效事件，强化了人们认为该过程脆弱、难以适应且未考虑到小型数字参与者的印象。会员邮件列表等沟通渠道仍由既有参与者和政策内部人士主导，而对科技中心和早期公司的外展微乎其微。在ICANN的法律干预和持续的程序审查下，许多初创企业认为没有理由在一个看起来不确定且受外部驱动的选举过程中投入时间。

初创企业的沉默影响结果
当初创企业不参与AFRINIC选举时，决策便留给了少数人。大型电信运营商和监管机构因此在少有质疑的情况下塑造结果。这削弱了政策辩论的多样性。其他区域互联网注册机构形成了鲜明对比。APNIC、RIPE NCC和ARIN使用简单的在线投票工具和直接参与渠道。较小的会员更常参与，他们的意见影响着资源管理方式。非洲未能享有同样的平衡。年轻科技公司的缺席限制了关于IPv6分配、资源转让和数字主权讨论中的创新。 另见: Startups and AFRINIC elections: Africa’s digital future.
后果超出该地区。国际论坛期望所有类型的成员广泛而积极地参与。当初创企业保持沉默时，非洲失去了信誉和谈判实力。分析师警告称，这种真空会助长外部干涉，并将权力集中在传统参与者手中。若要使体系保持合法，改革势在必行。更明确的资格规则、有针对性的外展和更便捷的沟通渠道有助于小型公司参与。若无这些改变，关于非洲互联网未来的关键决策将继续在缺少那些构建其数字经济的主体参与下做出。 另见: ZION-AS Zion Boetzel.
