Part of the reason the governance is failing is due to NRS [1]. The NRS is running a concerted disinformation campaign [2] and a sue everyone and everything campaign to cripple AfriNIC [3]. The root cause is someone got some up blocks from out of the AfriNic region awhile back and started using for nefarious internet activities. They got discovered and the ip blocks reclaimed[4]. A change of the bylaws was instigated to create a new rule to allow the export of ip blocks from the region, that failed. Finally the court cases started rolling in to try and use the courts to allow the export of the ip blocks and or cripple and scare employees of AfriNic. So far, the offense team is winning, no ceo has been selected due to the chaos, the board is no longer there and some elements of the community have been paid off to ensure no consensus inthe annual meetings. Also, there’s the natural split of the Africa community along francophone and anglophone lines which is making things difficult. It’s a terrible time for AfriNic….
