Those are 2 different issues.

A) At the ICT Advisory Council level, Ish and I have made formal
requests to include items on the agenda that have been voiced out on
the MIU mailing list: e.g, The issue of .mu was raised, as well as the
Internet FIltering issue. Lastly, the high price of internet access
was raised by Avinash Meetoo during the first ICT Advisory Council.

I fully understand your concerns regarding the fact that our minutes
are not available publicly. Ish and I will raise the issue.

B) I cannot speak on Behalf of CERT-MU. Perhaps it's an item that
should be included on the agenda of our next meeting.
