Attention tech journalists:

Can I convince you or your colleagues to report on some really important and potentially very consequential Internet governance issues that have been going on? This really is kind of a big deal and almost no one is reporting on it. Boosts appreciated.

The Regional Internet Registries (#RIRs) such as #AFRINIC, #APNIC, and #RIPE, which among other things, manage the numbers (e.g., IP addresses) have quite literally been under attack at the governance level.

AFRINIC is currently in a very uncertain state and is probably the place you should start your research. Begin here and work your way backwards or forwards:
