Hello
I think in order to get heard we have to be legitimate and to be legit we
have to represent more than 60 people sending emails.
Starting a news letter was the first step, but it has a limit.
If I search on google for "mauritius internet users" I found nothing
related to MIU. Remember Morimode? the guy was thinking we were teenager
sending angry emails...
Just an idea that is crossing my mind but what we could do is to write a
manifesto like the agile one :
http://agilemanifesto.org/
Then we go to all companies and associations asking them to backup our
objective by signing it. We create a website to get more visibility (piece
of cake) get a logo to brand our image and we finally contact the press
(when everything is done) to federate the public.
Then organizations such as ICTA, NCB and others will maybe listen as they
know that we are representing something :)
