Unique internet artefacts auction

All the proceeds of the auction, which will take place online and run until the 14th of December 2007, will go to developing and sustaining the iCommons Node programme, which connects global free culture projects around the world.

You'd better have your cash and your bidding instincts ready, because the first annual iCommons auction has just launched!

There is a huge array of items up for grabs, which run the gamut from the historical (Creative commons founder Lawrence Lessig's
coat) to the cultural (pre-preint copies of books by cult sci-fi writer Cory Doctorow) and the fun and funny (a limited edition plush Fox-Keh toy and a Second Life survival pack).

The people who have donated to the iCommons Auction are leading figures in the global movement to make the internet a powerful tool for change, innovation, sustainability and development.
Their donations tell stories of a history that is currently being written about the power of the internet for change and development.

So start rummaging through your pockets and looking for change under the couch, and for information on the auction, how to bid, payment methods and any of the items for sale, please visit www.icommons.org/auction and follow the links provided.
