Thank you. So how might we raise awareness of ORCID among RfC contributors and and encourage its use by them? Is there a "how to" guide or FAQ where it could be mentioned? How might we get the IETF to agree to wording along the lines of "the IETF encourages (or "recommends" or "requests") contributors to register for an ORCID and to include it..."? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
