Perhaps we should plan for a BOF in Madrid to figure out what changes we might

join.
Just for clarification: We do not need to be members to use the system.
That is quite true, and in fact my ORCID account includes references to
the RFCs I've written, I think collected via DOTs.
On the other hand, if we're using it, the decent thing is to pay. It's
not that much and it gives us some interesting options like letting the
RPC check and update author info. (With the authors' permission, of
course.)
