Apologies Liz -
I don't think I'm being clear with my original question. Let me rephrase.
Understanding that the board has authorized staff to spend up to $150,000 to conduct this review, what are the exact financial terms entered into with this contractor? i.e. how much can we actually expect to spend and over what term.
In all candor, I'd simply prefer to review the contract directly myself in order to draw my own conclusions, but I'm not sure if management policy will permits this level of transparency. If the contract can be published, I would prefer that option, otherwise please bear with my questions. :)

The full Board resolution approving the Reviewer's contract is found at http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-21feb06.htm. In particular, "Resolved (06.__), the President and the General Counsel are authorized to engage the London School of Economics Public Policy Group to conduct the GNSO Review according to the terms set out in their proposal, with expenditures not to exceed US $150,000."
