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. :(
