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. :(
