1. An anti-fouling or fouling release condensation curing organopolysiloxane composition comprising in admixture,
(A) a base polymer in the form of a diorganopolysiloxane having at least two silicon atom-bonded hydroxyl and/or hydrolyzable groups in a molecule,
(B) a silane having at least two hydrolyzable groups in a molecule and/or a partial hydrolytic condensate thereof, and
(C) 0.01 to 30% by weight based on component (A) of an ionic liquid, wherein said ionic liquid consists of a quaternary ammonium cation selected from the group consisting of a methyltri-n-octylammonium cation, an ethoxyethylmethylpyrrolidinium cation, and an ethoxyethylmethylmorpholinium cation and an anion selected from the group consisting of AlCl4, Al3Cl8, Al2Cl7, ClO4, PF6, BF4, CF3SO3, (CF3SO2)2N, and (CF3SO2)3Cand said ionic liquid has a melting point in the range of −50° C. to 20° C.
