Postgres-based system to run .org registry?

The Internet Society (ISOC) won the bid to replace Verisign as the .org
registry. They're going to subcontract to Afilias, who has been running the
.info registry.

See:

Is this the same group that recently asked for input on their proposal,
which specified Postgres as the registry database?

(For some reason I can't find the recent thread on their proposal on the
hackers, general or admin lists.)
