Don't mean to get off of target in this reply BUT has this been dug up yet? I just tripped over this searching nonprofits today & couldn't get on any bread board. Seems notable?! If already dug my apologies but if not think it's helpful!
"BRIDGE: Basic Registry of Identified Global Entities"
https://bridge-registry.org/about-us/
See "History" brainstorms: stakeholders - support = HP, Gates, GOOG
"History, The idea for BRIDGE originated out of a series of collaborative brainstorms. Key stakeholders in these conversations, including social sector financial platforms and information providers such as Markets for Good, all felt that a unique identifier for social sector organizations was a prerequisite for greater collaboration and sharing of information in the sector.
Foundation Center, GlobalGiving, GuideStar, and TechSoup emerged as having a need for such a system, the operational capacity to think through a challenge of this scope, and substantial data to contribute in order to ensure that the effort had a sizable impact.
Now, with the support of the Hewlett Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Google Inc., the founding partners have made this vision a reality."
