ICANN has urged for a revision of officials overseeing the forthcoming AFRINIC elections, a response to a protracted crisis at the organization. AFRINIC has been without an operational board or CEO since 2022, entangled in legal disputes, particularly with Cloud Innovation over alleged contract violations. The situation escalated to multiple lawsuits, which resulted in frozen bank accounts and governance paralysis. Recently, Mauritius' courts appointed a receiver to manage AFRINIC, and an election for a new board is scheduled for June 23, 2025, with Cloud Innovation now recognized as a shareholder.
