Re: [regrep] UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts freebXML Registry

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

My apologies for dribbling out yet another interesting take away from 
the UN/CEFACT-ICG meeting. Somke days I need to have my head examined :-)

I was also very pleasantly surprised that two members of ICG from France 
Telecom had a really compelling prototype demo for the proposed ICG 
architecture. The demo had a very nice thin UI prototype that used 
freebXML Registry as a back end. The France Telecom demo was immediately 
after the architecture presentation and really crystallized the proposed 
architecture. They also had some very kind words to say about freebXML 
Registry. This was a real crowd pleaser.

I am also pleased to share that one or more colleagues from France 
Telecom will likely be joining the regrep TC soon based on our 
conversations. They would bring some valuable insights to our TC and 
will provide a natural link with UN/CEFACT-ICG.
