ICANN chairman Vint Cerf said here at the organization's meeting in Argentina that Telcordia has already "agreed the assessment [of Denic] had an error", and corrected the report accordingly. But this did not change the ranking of the five bids, he said.
Telcordia will be asked to look at Sentan's objections too. While not addressing the complaints directly or giving any weight to their accuracy, Cerf suggested that the true winner will not be known until the ICANN board makes a choice.
"The concerns will be addressed for resolution to Telcordia," Cerf said at a press conference yesterday. "The ICANN board will have the ultimate decision...The board could decide to negotiate with the second-placed candidate."

Note How Clever ICANN is at Selecting The Winner
The ICANN Board now gets to choose between
Verisign and Saten. Is that really a choice ?
Compare the ICANN process to a process the
U.S. Government would have used. They could have
tossed out an RFQ, asked for a $500 application
fee and then reviewed the applicants based on
a simple check-list of criteria. Once reduced
to qualified applicants, a simple drawing from
a fish-bowl would determine the "winner".
ICANN could not risk such a process. The insiders
first stack the deck and then create an
elaborate stage presentation to pull the right
card from the deck. It is amazing that the
press and suckers around the world sit in awe
at the drama. It is all a scripted show.

"The ICANN board will have the ultimate decision."
Yep, that is Vinton Cerf's style. Top-down.
What would happen if the .NET owners all VOTED
on one of the 5 candidates ? Nope, that could
not happen, sounds too much like a democracy.
Hey, the two candidates that Cerf gets to choose
from are BOTH based in Northern Virginia. Guess
where Cerf lives ? Well shazaam, what a
coincidence.
