I am still waiting for a reply from them. Also I asked Robert Sultana if the Internet Foundation would sponsor us or else do it themselves.

Exotic country it is. But I am trying to keep Uni on the ball too. We are currently at the stage with agreeing on an acceptance usage policy.

Although MLUG doesn't have this money, I think it's overkill to become an NGO and apply for EU funding for €1300. It would cost us more just to pay some pencil pusher to actually get the forms filled in. I'm not against becoming and NGO or other EU funding, but I think that is a separate issue. Also, we don't want to become an ISP - this is just a medium term project until the Maltese ISPs actually get proper IPv6. >> > >> > If BMIT won't let us use their ASN number and Sixxs require it, then we have a problem.
