I do not have a relevant benchmark in the form of ICANN's existing procurement policies. It is quite normal for such entities whether in the private or public sectors to have an open, pro-competitive procurement policy. I assume that there is something in ICANN that responds to this expectation, but I do not know about it. ICANN's current procurement guidelines are available at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system... I have attached for your convenience. Regards, Bruce Tonkin
