Overview
- A group of 21 prominent breeders sent a letter to SRA president Nicolás Pino calling for an independent forensic review of the software contract, the money spent and the current state of the registry service.
- The SRA says it is keeping registry functions running using temporary workarounds as it attributes the failures to contractor Mobile Computing, now part of Grid Dynamics.
- The project began under a 2021 strategy, selected Mobile Computing in 2023 for a nine‑month build, and finally launched in September 2025 with errors, missing modules and partial deliveries that hobbled normal use.
- An outside legal and technical audit started in January, the SRA says key technicians resigned as it opened and the vendor refused to take part, and the case is now in judicial mediation.
- The fight between president Nicolás Pino and vice president Marcos Pereda has sharpened as Pereda’s camp cites reported spending near US$3 million and faults oversight, while SRA leaders highlight decisions tied to Pereda’s team.
