I know it is confusing the Continental Kennel Club, is a dog registry, as is the AKC and the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club).
Here is a link to a thread that talks about the different registries

Just a little background information, until the Biewer is recognized in Canada and or the USA; A National Club, will need to keep the stud book, and function as a registry. When and if the breed gets mainstream recognition by AKC CKC or FCI then the registry of the dogs will change to the AKC CKC etc. Also the AKC will only recognize ONE National Club of that breed. So the other Biewer Clubs will either fold into the "winner" or maintain a separate existence apart from the AKC recognized National Club.
An AKC accredited National Club of any breed is responsible for setting and changing the standard. All club members must vote on a standard change.
Beyond this, and the thread I linked for you, I can't add anything to the Biewer discussion.
