CORE is no better, Kent.  IANA had no authority to grant to them.  CORE was
operating just as outside the process as IOD.  I know you think by ignoring
that point you can pretend it doesn't exist, but the reality is still there. 
If IANA did have the authority, then NSF wouldn't have directed NSI to not add
any new gTLDs submitted by IANA.    

Your justification for giving CORE some higher position is as weak as Chris's
for IOD.

All applications, regardless of the prior work of the applicant, should be
considered on their merits alone, and nothing more.
