With respect to conflict of interest, it's certainly an issue that's foremost in my mind, because we are producing important guidelines for our members.
You've touched on financial conflict of interest. What's perhaps even more compelling is intellectual conflict of interest, when someone is intellectually vested in a certain point of view. We can talk about all kinds of conflicts of interest.
I think that disclosing and being open is important, and it's why I provided my CV to the members. They can look to see how much money I'm making from these studies that go on for years.
I think acknowledging it up front doesn't mean you might be any less biased, but it acknowledges that you are aware you could be influenced. I think not acknowledging that all of us have some interest around this table is the really difficult thing.
