Considering how cumbersome it is to establish a contract with ICANN, I see the only solution as pre-paying a contractor to look for and fix a set number of issues from target repositories.

While it is unorthodox, it is what is possible within the constraints we have to work with.

Hi Mark

3.  Offer developers a small amount of money, say $500 to motivate them to change their code.  If we spent $1m on that I would regard it as a good investment. 
  Marksv>>> We don't know how to do this in the ICANN system due to contractual complexity.
That was raised and the alternatives I suggested were 1) to pay someone to submit patches to as many projects as possible along with any reasonable ‘patch
processing fee’ or 2) pay someone to run a compliance bounty programme. Both of those are things we can contract out. 

I proposed a bounty program and ICANN said no.
