I was reading the Sao Paulo Declaration at
http://www.wamo.info
and the FINA response also linked to on that site.
What exactly is the justification for FINA GR 4, which prohibits participation by individuals and/or organizations in non-FINA-affliated organizations or events? The rule seems unreasonably broad in not limiting in any way what organizations one can not be affiliated with!
On the idealistic side, I find it somewhat offensive to have my rights of association so limited by a body like FINA. On the pragmatic side, FINA seems to have stacked the cards so much in its favor that it is hard to imagine fighting it.
You all are on the bull's eye... each one...!
What ever possesed Mendoza -ASUA/UANA- to write such a communiqué...?
I suspect, if WAMO has any effect, that FINA will have to modify some of their rules (lawyers have a name for those one sided agreements) HOWEVER, the Bureau itself needs renovation.
Also, I find no where, and I think I read just about everything on their site, nowhere that FINA accounts to anyone... internal checks & balances...?
Now then... why not place your comments -good or bad- directly in the WAMO site...? You can anonimously if you like.
