Support iSummit

From Prof. Lawrence Lessig:

Two years ago, iCommons established the yearly iSummit conference as
a way to bring together the thinkers, innovators, and pioneers of the
"Open" movement.

This year's iSummit (taking place in Dubrovnik, Croatia from June
15th through 17th) will bring together more than 250 key players for
two days of intense discussion and debate about our digital freedoms
and the future of the Internet. It is critical to assure that a truly
global legal perspective is represented at this important conference.

Creative Commons International affiliates are crucial to the success
of the iSummit and of Creative Commons globally. The iSummit is the
one opportunity each year for these dedicated volunteers drawn from
universities and cultural institutes to learn from each other face to
face and plan for the challenges and opportunities facing the
movement in the next year. Enabling these volunteers to participate
in the iSummit is truly the most leveraged way to support Creative
Commons at this time.

In order for Creative Commons to provide affiliates with scholarships
to attend this critical conference, we need your help in raising
$50,000 within the next two weeks. This is a daunting task, but we
strongly believe that you, our community, will help us reach this goal.

Please visit http://creativecommons.org/support to give to the fund.
All of our usual cool premiums are available.

To help, Digital Garage, a major sponsor of iSummit 2006, is matching
the first $20,000 that is contributed.
