Telcordia did not rank VRSN "way ahead" of the rest.
Being that I work for one of the bidding teams (Sentan), I merely
want to point out that the above statement is untrue. Below are two
quotes from the report that contradict "way ahead."
From the report's section 1.2 (Executive Summary of the Findings):
"The evaluators find that all of the vendors have the
capability to run the .NET registry."
and later in the section,
"VeriSign has a small numerical edge over Sentan that
is not statistically significant given the methodology
used to rate the RFP responses."
I encourage concerned folks to draw opinions from reading the report
itself, at least the executive summary.
Here is the link to the ICANN page announcing the report:
http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-28mar05.htm
And the report itself:

FYI, For discussions on the evaluation report, ICANN's web page says:
