Re: ORCID - unique identifiers for contributors

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.
