<Excerpt>
"Q: Who runs the UDDI Business Registry?
A: The UDDI Business Registry is operated as a distributed service. 
Currently, IBM, Microsoft and SAP operate registry nodes. NTT 
Communications will bring another registry node online in the near 
future. An Operator's Council sets policy and quality of service 
guidelines for the operators."

In other words, they decide who will be let in and who will not.
</Excerpt>

The UDDI v3 spec [1] introduces the concept of multi-registry
topologies, in which involve the notions of "root" and "affiliate"
registries.  The UDDI Business Registry (UBR) can serve as a root
registry, thereby allowing an affiliate registry to establish
inter-registry communication policies and procedures with both the UBR
and any other registry which is an affiliate of the UBR.
