AFRINIC ELECTION 2025

Reclaim Your IP. Reclaim AFRINIC.
The future of AFRINIC and your digital rights — is on the ballot.

AFRINIC has been plagued by corruption, IP theft, and excessive fees — leaving members uncertain and at risk of losing their resources. But the upcoming AFRINIC elections offer a rare chance to reclaim control.

If NRS candidates win, we will prioritize members’ rights, guarantee IP ownership, and build a financially stable, corruption-free AFRINIC.

Our goal is simple,

to make AFRINIC the world’s leading RIR — driven by transparency, efficiency, and accountability.

NRS proudly endorses eight candidates who represent strong leadership, transparency, and a shared commitment to fair and inclusive internet resource governance.

Legal Protection for IP Ownership

AFRINIC can currently seize your resources at any time. Over four million IPs were unlawfully taken by past leadership. Under NRS, this will never happen again. We will introduce title deeds for IP addresses, ensuring your allocation is legally and permanently yours.

Abolishing Unjust Membership Fees

AFRINIC has unfairly taxed its members, hindering digital growth. NRS will eliminate compulsory membership fees forever. Internet resources should be accessible without financial burdens, fostering a fairer and more inclusive internet ecosystem.
