We can all say we saw a fair and unbiased "trimming" of the list of applicants.
I was particularly pleased to see IOD, Diebold and SRI as highly considered applicants.
However, a few notes on each:
IOD
Could IOD adjust its pricing structure
(would ICANN allow this at this point)? This seems to be the only salient negative
issue brought up in the review.
Diebold
A well thought approach like theirs
must have a well though business and financial approach behind it. ICANN, can
you get Diebold to furnish some of this information at this point? There must
be some way for them to post some of this information.
SRI
Can you broaden the
potential applications for your model? Your view of how this approach might
apply to other areas of use would be helpful.
ICANN, will you allow the applicants
to respond to the observations?
