ORCID endorses the Barcelona Declaration - ORCID

"After thorough review and discussion with the ORCID Board late last year, ORCID is happy to announce our endorsement of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information as an institutional supporter. We are pleased to see how the declaration, a community-driven initiative with over 100 signatories and 40 supporters, highlights growing support for sustainable infrastructure for research information. As a community-governed non-profit research infrastructure provider, ORCID considers all opportunities for community commitments, including endorsements, through a framework established by our Board of Directors, by which we assess the call for commitment against several criteria, including whether or not the commitment conflicts with our founding principles, our values, or would jeopardize our non-profit status."
