Hi folks,

There has been numerous discussions on the mailing list to register
Mauritius Internet Users as an association, at least giving it a
recognizable stature and not appear like a loosely knit group.

During one of the weekly calls, where we discussed about registering the
group, SM proposed the word "foundation". I did some research and came
up with Section 7(1)(f) of the Foundations Act 2012 of Mauritius:

        (7) Charitable Foundation
        (1) A Foundation shall be a charitable Foundation where is has as its
exclusive purpose or object-
                (a) the relief of poverty;
                (b) the advancement of education;
                (c) the advancement of religion;
                (d) the protection of the environment;
                (e) the advancement of human rights and fundamental freedoms; or
                (f) any other purpose beneficial to the public in general

We say the Mauritius Internet Users aims to achieve advancement of
internet in Mauritius. How about having a Mauritius Internet Foundation
that supports the work of the Mauritius Internet Users? Credits to SM
for having suggested the use of foundation rather than association.
