Note that I suggested a scheme for supporting both legal identities & role-based identities - using authentication systems that are already in use in our normal legal, financial, and organizational lives.
And... It occurs to me to suggest that this whole set of issues is a legitimate topic for IETF standardization, and delegation to ICANN & the registries to support.
Beyond that, if we want to camp onto something that already exists, why ORCID? Why not X.409, or ... Shibboleth?
