an official way to include this in my I-Ds, I'll happily do that.I was trying to understand how it's governed and funded.
I didn't quite muddle through all the governance pages, I did figure out that
it's US incorporated, probably in the state of NY. I am concerned that it
might come under attack. That the data privacy laws are US ones. Someone at
a European GDPR-compliant institution would ideally review to see if there
are issues.
ORCID is extremely widely used in European universities.
