I did not know about ORCID before this thread. I think it is brilliant, and what I've read about the mandate of orcid.org, and how it is managed, I am enthusiastic. I agree with what Joel wrote: Asking for ORCID support in the tool set and asking for IETF endorsement are two very different things. Having tool support for it is a necessary first step to permitting IETF contributors to gain experience with it. We need that experience before we can talk about consensus. So, permit ORCID, but not enforce. An interesting second (or third) conversation might be about how I could insert ORCIDs into the meta-data for already published documents. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] mcr@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
