> co-ordinated approach would be feasible. This would definitely be to 
> the benefit of researchers, as well as those working on information 
> infrastructure and research administration.

> Key recommendations from the summit were:
> 
> All parties should work towards preventing redundancy. It would be 
> great to have one canonical ID bringing together existing systems.
> There is an interest in an open thin layer with clear interfaces so 
> others can build services on this.
> At present there are broadly two approaches to collecting researcher 
> IDs. Solution providers should draw on the relevant strengths of both 
> of these approaches.
> Now is the time for institutions to start doing their homework. They 
> should not make blocking choices but progress and start assigning 
> identifiers and work on linking these with VIAF.
> 
> The summit was well attended by a broad group of international 
> experts, with 31 participants from 10 countries. The first day was 
> directed at identifying the issues and the second day at using the 
> findings and opinions to feed into the development of international 
> initiatives being developed. There are already national identifier 
> systems in place in several countries and there was a strong interest
