Organization identifiers are a key part of the scholarly communications infrastructure. At the beginning of this year Crossref, DataCite and ORCID announced the formation of an Organization Identifier Working Group (OrgID) to refine the structure, principles, and technology specifications for an open, independent, non-profit organization identifier Registry to facilitate the disambiguation of researcher affiliations.
Last month the working group released its findings and recommendations for governance and product requirements (https://orcid.org/blog/2017/09/19/organization-identifier-working-group-update) and now they have released a Request for Information to solicit comment and interest from the broader research community - https://orcid.org/blog/2017/10/09/request-information-organization-id-open-registry - replies requested by 15 November.
