AFRINIC is not undergoing liquidation. The Court has appointed a Receiver and hopefully Afrinic will be back to normal.
Dear Community Members, We, the African Internet community have been reasonably concerned following the news that AFRINIC has come under receivership. A Receiver Manager for AFRINIC has been appointed by the Supreme Court in Mauritius. In my humble opinion, there is no need for undue alarm. A similar option was actually discussed during the recent AFRALO General Assembly in Accra, Ghana in July 2023. We proposed that AFRINIC should make an application to the Judge in Chamber of the Supreme Court in Mauritius for the holding of the AFRINIC Board elections under the Court supervision to bring back AFRINIC to its functional board and directorship. It is important to clarify that the community should not mistake this situation for liquidation, as AFRINIC is not in a state of liquidation. Credit is due to the Judge of the Supreme Court of Mauritius for appointing a Receiver Manager, Mr. Virasami. Mr. Virasami's role will primarily involve safeguarding the institution's interests and assets, overseeing the upcoming Board elections in accordance with AFRINIC's constitution, and appointing a CEO. He is expected to organize the Afrinic Board elections within six months, with provisions for extension if deemed necessary. This process aims to restore the effective management of the institution through a properly constituted Board and Directorship. For your information, AFRINIC is registered in Mauritius as a Private Company, Limited by Guarantee, in accordance with the Companies Act 2001 of Mauritius, bearing File Number C49338 and Business Registration Number C06049338. As AFRINIC operates in accordance with community guidance and its Board is elected by the community, it's crucial to acknowledge that the Board's composition is a direct reflection of the community's choices. Hence, we respectfully ask Mr. Virasami, the Receiver Manager, to consistently share updates with the community regarding the institution's management activities.
