Alexander,

Any thoughts on GNR's complaint that Neustar may have an unfavorable
advantage over GNR because of Gartner's prior analysis? What I mean is given
GNR's technical & economic association with Verisign, wouldn't GNR benefit
from a similar evaluative bias given that Verisign's operation could be
viewed as the standard by which all other comers are being judged? One would
assume that the technical evaluators would have a high degree of
pre-existing familiarity with Verisign and therefore GNR.

"In particular, Gartner's publication of an analytical report on NeuStar in
   the middle of the .org application process ("NeuStar: One of the Best
   Kept-Secrets in Telecom," by David Fraley, 06 May 2002, available on
   www.gartner.com) raises questions whether its more extensive knowledge of
   NeuStar's systems may have given that bidder an unfair advantage."
