Subject: Follow up to question from James Gannon during SSR2 WG session

Karen,

During the session “SSR1 Briefings to SSR2 Review Team” in Johannesburg on Sunday 25/6, James Gannon asked what composed the amount of Professional Services budget of $2.3m for FY17, which presented on 1 of the slides. Please see below the answer.

The amount of FY17 Professional Services budget ($2.3m) comprises the following main items:

- data escrow services: $930k

- WHOIS studies (ARS design/analysis, parsing, accuracy testing, ARS phase 3): $638k

- EBERO services: $353k

- Background checks for registrar accreditation: $100k

The above items add up to $2.0m. The remaining professional services included in the total are miscellaneous smaller items.

Let me if there is any further question.

Copying James here as I have his email address, but please make sure to publish the response for the entire SSR2 team to see.

Thank you.

Best,

Xavier
