If there is the agreement of the local internet community, the
not-for-profit draws a written agreement with the government to
ensure that, from a legal perspective, the government owns
"gov.mu". The agreement would also state the technical measures
which the not-for-profit will implement for the government to be able
to have "gov.mu" under its control. The not-for-profit will never be
able to put "gov.mu" for sale [1].
There is a cost for the not-for-profit to ensure that "gov.mu" DNS
works. It is not worth it to try to set up a system to charge the
government for that. If the government is given "gov.mu" for free it
is unlikely that there would be any concerns from the public about that.
