Hello!

Thanks for sharing this. Two quick questions:

  1. I see where section 3.6.1 emphasizes the importance of “centralized” persistent identifier systems. Recent concerns have been raised about the scalability of centralized systems in the naturally distributed landscape of academia. Any particular reason for the emphasis on centralization given recent issues? See here, here, here, and here
  2. Would it be possible to include sections around monitoring emerging PID systems? I believe the Dutch National PID policy has included some thoughts on the topic which may be useful. A number of interesting identifiers are emerging now which I worry the US may miss out on (dARKs, ISCC Codes, and dPIDs). It might also be good to expand the supervisory group for emerging PIDs past incumbents such as Crossref and Datacite to ensure fair and equitable representation.

Thank you,
Erik Van Winkle
