Oki all,

A summary of the report and a link to the full report can be found at:

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-28mar05.htm

So now you know. VGRS, NS+, AF, ranked 1, 2, 3; DE and CORE ranked 4 & 5.
Given the "independence" of Telcordia WRT VGRS, this is somehow not surprising.

It is surprising that ICANN did not pick someone who was _actually_ independent to do the ranking. Wish I had the time to actually investigate, but like so many things which look suspicious, they will "get away with it" because others are busy.

Would that ICANN had the integrity to avoid not just impropriety, but the appearance of impropriety. :(
