Given this comment in John Levin's post: " PS: Now that I think about it, you
can already put in a personal URL
in rfc2xml, so if someone wants to use an ORCID URL, they can do so
right now." it seems like there isn't any need to change the schema.

Heather Flanagan can be most easily reached at
rfc-editor(_at_)rfc-editor(_dot_)org, the specified email address for reaching
the
rfc-editor.
Note however that you need to be clear as to what you are asking her.
If you are asking that she arrange for the tools to include provision
for using ORCHIDs, that is a reasonable request. SUch a request would
presumably be prioritized along with the other tooling improvement that
are under consideration.
On the other hand, if youa re asking that the IETF endorse or encourage
such uses, there are two problems. First, the RFC Editor does not speak
for the IETF. You need to actually get a determination of IETF rough
consensus on the ietf email list. That consensus would need to be based
on a more specific question than "do we want to allow ORCHIDs", and then
would be judged on that question by the IETF chair.
Yours,

Thank you. Is Heather on this list?
I hope that what's going on here is *not* that there's been
little uptake and you're trying to promote its use.
On the contrary; the uptake from both individuals, and organisations
incorporating ORCID into their publishing workflows - is impressive,
as you can see form reading the ORCID website & blog.
