How do I become a participant in the ORCID Initiative? Are there fees involved?

Interested organizations can register here. At this time there are no fees or obligations for participants; online registration will simply confirm that the organization has an active interest in this important initiative. It is likely that fees will begin to be charged as of 2012 when the system is in production, at which time Participants will have the option to become users of the production system. Deposition of data and individual uses of the system will always be free.
Participating organizations will receive access to the ORCID community wiki, along with a standing invitation to attend meetings twice a year open to all participants.
