Due to the allegations made against me and Ish Sookun, I will refrain
from talking too much about the ICT Advisory Council. Instead, I will
write what I feel needs to be discussed on my blog, while carefully
avoiding raising those issues at the ICT Advisory Council.
I am deeply disturbed that " I [Content filtering owner] was impressed
with how willing the ISP industry in Mauritius was to get involved
with this project as well as the transparency and broad consultation
undertaken by the ICTA. ”", as there was never a broad consultation by
ICTA.

I am only interested in buying milk from New Zealand. I do not want
black boxes that spy on me from New Zealand.
