Hi, I'm sending you this paper which reviews non-financial conflict of interest in published/able research in the biomedical sciences. It contains what should be a stark warning for LACRALO and the present discussion our representatives and designees are having in relation to the new round of new gTLDs, and further. A teaser paragraph: " Non-financial conflicts of interest (NFCOIs) have received comparatively little attention [2 <https://bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12910-025-01221-5#r...> ,3 <https://bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12910-025-01221-5#r...> ,4 <https://bmcmedethics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12910-025-01221-5#r...>]. NFCOIs are factors unrelated to financial interests that might compromise an individual’s ability to properly carry out their duties related to research or publication. They can take the form of academic, intellectual, personal, or political conflicts. A common example might be an unblinded reviewer being a close friend or staunch rival of a submitting author. A more controversial example might be an author holding a leadership position in an advocacy organization whose cause directly relates to the research at hand. Although personal relationships and ideological commitments are more difficult to measure than financial payments, the potential for conflicts to compromise the veracity of our literature is still purported to be at stake." The lack of transparency we tolerat may take us deep into that territory.
