[Correction] UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts ebXML Registry Standard (Was:UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts freebXML Registry)

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

This is a formal correction to my original post below where the subject 
stated:

"UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts freebXML Registry"

The correct subject line should have been:

"UN/CEFACT-ICG adopts ebXML Registry Standard"

My apologies for the unintended mix-up. As I said I dream of freebXML 
Registry in my sleep these days :-)

UN/CEFACT ICG Architecture does not mandate that members use any 
specific implementation of ebXML Registry standard.
However, I am pleased to say that  that the pilot project for UN/CEFACT 
ICG Architecture has chosen freebXML Registry for its registry 
implementation.
