Arms dealer and gun makers have similar arguement to hide the fact that
stopping war or easy acqusition of arm will BENEFIT them.
It is not all situation where that is the case. But as in all murder
investigation, we should always ask - who benefit from this thing going
down.

You forget a difference. OIF is not a resource member unlike Larus.  Tell
us how OIF or France will benefit from pass of Review proposal.

If OIF were try to put french citizen people on AFRINIC board, your
argument will make sense. It is not. If you have evidence to show it has,
please share and tell us how they benefit from it.

To be clear, I oppose ALL sponsoree of any organisation taking same
position. It is distructive to our PDP. Whether it be OIF or Larus.
I think Larus Foundation one is worse because a member will directly
benefit from it, which is not the case for OIF.
