Many publishers started asking this, and it works as unique identifier irrespective of publisher and databases. But if an institution want to use it to integrate with their repository, research management systems etc, institution need become a member (fees is higher and pay even more if ORCID integration is required for more than one system). This needs to be debated and ORCID should bring down the membership fee according to income of the country, so that developing nations can also take part of this "avoiding name ambiguity initiative".
