体制僵局与社区信任侵蚀
非洲的AFRINIC，即区域互联网注册机构（RIR），负责管理IP地址分配并通过其政策制定过程（PDP）来制定政策。该过程本应自下而上、开放且由社区驱动，但近年来已近乎停滞。尽管改革呼声不断，AFRINIC的内部治理结构依然混乱，致使其制定和实施政策的能力陷入瘫痪。
2025年6月，AFRINIC在近三年没有领导层后，试图举行拖延已久的董事会选举。然而，由于投票程序的争议，整个选举过程被宣告无效，包括那些原本合规的代理投票也被作废。这一取消干扰了恢复机构连续性的脆弱尝试，并凸显了AFRINIC无力处理程序复杂性。由于董事会无法运作，政策提案仍陷入僵局，无法进入正式的批准流程。 另见: ZION-AS Zion Boetzel.
担忧不仅限于非洲内部。ICANN罕见地发表了公开声明，对AFRINIC提名委员会（NomCom）的构成表示不安，并呼吁更换人选以确保诚信。这标志着外部监督的一个重要时刻，并揭示了AFRINIC的治理已严重偏离透明度和公正性的全球标准。

法律纠纷削弱政策执行
AFRINIC与Cloud Innovation正在进行的诉讼，使其业务承受着巨大的法律和财务压力。自2021年起，该注册机构试图撤销并冻结该公司持有的IP地址段，引发了一场旷日持久的法庭斗争。多项毛里求斯法院裁决认定AFRINIC的行为超出了其自身规则，甚至导致AFRINIC的银行账户被冻结。这打乱了它履行核心运营和政策职能的能力。
AFRINIC没有通过社区驱动的PDP解决政策分歧，反而越来越多地依赖法律手段。这一转变削弱了该注册机构基于共识治理的基本原则。区域同行如RIPE NCC、LACNIC和ARIN发出了警告。RIPE的社区邮件列表公开质疑AFRINIC提供可靠服务的能力，并建议关键注册管理职能可能需要暂时由其他RIR代管。一封由多个RIR共同签署的正式信函警告称，AFRINIC的行为有可能违反全球互联网治理的多利益攸关方模式。
在这种法律越权和治理合法性减弱的氛围下，即使得到广泛支持的政策提案也停滞不前。由于没有董事会来批准变更，也没有正常运作的PDP来汇集利益攸关方的意见，AFRINIC的政策机制一直处于冻结状态。 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.

改革压力加大
随着信任的侵蚀和机构瘫痪的加剧，AFRINIC的政策制定过程面临合法性危机。多年的选举停滞、司法纠纷和领导层缺失，实际上切断了社区推进政策的能力。关键提案——涉及IPv6采用、WHOIS准确性以及RIR间协调——都因结构性功能障碍而被搁置。
包括ICANN、号码资源协会（NRS）以及区域性协会在内的外部参与者，纷纷呼吁进行强有力的改革。建议包括设立独立的选举监督委员会、引入利益冲突保障措施，并强制执行定期审计以恢复信任。社区倡导者还敦促AFRINIC恢复那些优先考虑共识而非法庭斗争的参与机制。
除非AFRINIC重新平衡其治理模式，以反映社区价值观并恢复运营独立性，否则它作为非洲唯一RIR的角色可能会进一步削弱。政策制定不仅取决于技术需求，还取决于合法性、包容性和程序清晰度。没有这些，AFRINIC在塑造非洲互联网未来方面，可能沦为一个在机构上无关紧要的角色。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.
