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.

FINA Rocks!
So you approve of the way FINA forced affiliates like USMS to send out warnings to all their members threatening suspension if they participated in the meet in Brazil, even though the meet was properly sanctioned? Did you notice any apology or accountability when they were finally forced to acknowledge that the meet was properly sanctioned?
