Let me take this opportunity to publicly thank SM for working so hard
to save our National identity online. As we are all aware, the .mu
fiasco has negatively impacted our reputation in the region as a
national ICT hub and caused many potential investors to re-consider
their choices whether to open businesses in Mauritius.

I view this as one of the first steps towards rectifying the extensive
damage done to our country. I believe that SM, as one of IANA's
Trusted Community Representatives, is the most suitable person to lead
this initiative. It is worth mentioning that IANA's list of TCR,
includes well-known figures in the DNS/TLD communities such as Dan
Kaminsky and Olaf Kolkman. This by itself, is an indication of his
strong expertise.
