The election for the African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) has been postponed after an injunction from a Mauritius Supreme Court judge. This delay follows a request from the Tanzanian Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA), which argued that certain members were unjustly denied voting rights in contravention of AFRINIC's bylaws. While the court has not officially suspended the election, the timeline for e-voting and in-person voting remains unclear. AFRINIC has struggled with governance issues since 2023, leading to a pressing need for a new board and leadership.
AFRINIC has faced ongoing dysfunction, unable to convene a board or appoint a CEO since 2023, contributing to the urgency of holding elections.
TISPA highlighted that certain AFRINIC resource members were denied voting rights, arguing that the organization's bylaws do not justify this exclusion.
