All, Please find the final version of the WS2 Implementation Guidance relative to the four points raised by the Board. On the point of Open Contracting you will find that the threshold recommendation now reads: In the first year of implementation ICANN should publish a register of all suppliers (name of supplier, country or origin and actual annual amount) it pays 500,000$US or more per fiscal year broken down by categories (eg, computer equipment, software, telecommunication services, contracting etc.). Starting in the second year of implementation ICANN should lower this threshold to 250,000$US. The Board should review this threshold amount on a regular basis to effectively ensure transparency. We believe this flexibility of a first year of implementation at 500,000$ would allow ICANN to properly evaluate the operational impact of this new system before transitioning to 250,000K$ in the second year of implementation.
