On the scale of a territory like BIOT, it is a reasonable expectation; Tuvalu is a high-profile example. However, the point is that there are no Chagossian representatives who have had a say in the organisation or governance of the territory's Internet infrastructure. There are a multitude of possibilities for how the .io ccTLD could be operated, but Chagossians have not had the opportunity to influence or decide them. In the absence of that, it seems right that the relatively lucrative .io registration business is used in some way to the benefit of displaced Chagossians.
