Dear Prime Minister,<\/p>\n
The Number Resource Organization (NRO), the coordinating body for the world\u2019s Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), is pleased to hear of the recent AFRINIC Board elections that concluded on 12 September 2025. We welcome the election of the members of the AFRINIC Board as a positive step forward that brings increased stability and resiliency to the global Internet Number Registry System as AFRINIC works toward full restoration of its governance and activities to serve its membership and community.<\/p>\n
We are concerned to hear that there may be efforts to restrict and challenge the AFRINIC Board\u2019s ability to act and perform its duties in service to the AFRINIC membership as well as the overall African community. Such a restriction would bring a level of instability to the global Internet Number Registry System that would negatively impact AFRINIC\u2019s ability to fully serve the African continent.<\/p>\n
Along with other members of the international community, we continue to monitor the AFRINIC situation and hope that AFRINIC will be able to progress forward with a quorate Board for a stable and resilient Internet Number Registry System.
\nMost respectfully,<\/p>\n
