I find the above proposals okay. The last point reflects how we operate.

I would say, the association represents internet users. Companies have
other associations that represent them in various ways. They just have
to have a membership there. However, if a company wishes to promote the
development of internet in Mauritius, sure, they can sponsor our
activities. No endorsement should be expected in return though.

People should merit recognition based on their contribution towards the
association. Contributions would mean work in the advancement of
internet in Mauritius, not their personal gains. I suggest that any
conflict of interest should be brought forward prior to engagement in
activities.
