Thank you SM.

I would like to comment that we, as the local Internet Community, are
deeply concerned in the current way that the committee is handling the
.mu issue.

1) Hiring an ICANN board member constitutes a conflict of Interest.

2) Repeating the same mistakes of the past. We should be learning from
our mistakes, and not repeat them. ICTA already attempted to hire a
foreign expert in the past, and he wasn't able to make any progress.

3) The Local Internet Community are against the idea of a foreign
expert, when we have local people who can do the job.

4) There is a difference between a ccTLD and a TLD. We cannot solve
the .mu issue by moving to a generic TLD.

Overall, we are deeply concerned at the current outcome of the .mu committee.
