To evaluate .NET applicants by March 28 — Neutral party

As stated by an notice on ICANN’s web site, third-party evaluator Telcordia will provide a note regarding the 5 applicants for managing the .net extension by March 28. ICANN will post this note, along with Telcordia’s rankings, on its web site. I’ve always stressed how big of a deal registry management is. In the hands of the wrong people, you could see massive chaos as registry information is lost, domains dropped, etc.
