Concernant SM,

Il faut reconnaitre qu'il fait un travail admirable avec Ish, dans la
représentation MIU.

Il faut penser qu'il le fait de façon bénévole et active!
C'est du temps et de la passion pure qu'Internet change ou plutôt évolue
dans le bon sens.
L'objectif c'est que le MIU évolue aussi et gagne en expérience.
Cela nous donnera de la notoriété et une bonne image de cette nouvelle
organisation lorsqu'on passera de l'ombre à la lumière ( se faire
reconnaitre officiellement en tant qu'Association, "dans un cadre légale" et
par les médias "le public").
Je suis encore désolé de n'avoir pas pu vous accompagner vendredi.
Mais la prochaine fois, j'espère sera la bonne!

Bon week end!

Jean-Philippe

I have been informed that operating in a transparent manner is incompatible
with the procedures of other groups, e.g. government, private sector,
academia. I explained that it is a requirement of the Mauritius Internet
Users. I was informed that I was sharing information on Facebook. I
replied that I am not on Facebook and that I have never shared any
information on Facebook. I added that it is not possible for me to stop
other persons from sharing information.

What happened is that rational arguments does not have any value in
Mauritius. It seems that ideas such as concepts or principles do not even
exist in Mauritius. It is not possible to discuss about those ideas as it
may be considered as too innovative.

The utility or luxury which the common internet users use everyday is
Facebook. I do not use that thing.

There is an assumption that you have to blindly trust me as I am
representing you and the other persons on this mailing list. There is an
assumption that I can decide about everything on your behalf. There is an
assumption that you will blindly accept everything I say as the truth
without verifying what I said. There isn't any way currently for you to be
sure that I did not sell you out.
