The idea originally came by the advertising campaign of name.com.

Public wiki negotiation for selling a domain
Dear Clarissa, or anybody who is interested in G SocialDomaining.
Last year I bought the domain G WeNameInitiative.com via NameSecure.com and put some initial work in promoting the envisionned SocialDomaining domain-market, that is interesting especially for the growing G CreativeCommons community. As the expiration date of WeNameInitiative.com is March 11, 2009, I am offering to sell WeNameInitiative for a symbolic 20 US$.
If you want to buy it, simply leave a public notice here on WeNameInitiative. We practise here a community initiative for everyone, who knows to appreciate it. As it is strongly related with the public community work of the author and owner, he is very interested that the buyer has a low entry and will prosper, together with any other connected people, who are engaged in the community.
This is an offer in the same spirit of OpenBusiness or even G ExtremeOpenBusiness.
The domain is experimentally marketed via the Aboutus page WeNameInitiative, the WikiPage, at which you currently are looking.
Due to the CreativeCommonLicense on each page of the Aboutus wiki, this page can be used synergetically by the buyer after having it bought, giving them a jumpstart for creating further value for themselves and connected people.
The first RealName Aboutus.org member (registering is free), can accept this special offer or negotiate on it in public here, without the time-restriction rules as necessary in forum-only-based communities.
The offer is accepted by his/her time-stamped signature (four Tilde signs generate it automatically). The actual handling of the domain and money transfer is recommended via a forum transaction in namepros.com, if you are new to Wiki culture here.
To give the buyer my best support, I am going to present this posting as embedded video on WeNameInitiative and would love to see a similar video response, embedded on the same page. (Of course, this is only optional :-).
All the best to all of us

PS.: You might wish to have a look at the User_talk:Ray_King of the CEO of Aboutus G RayKing, to see that OpenBusiness in Aboutus.org really works. PPS.: You also might wish to have a look in the history of this page, to see "behind the scenes".

Response from Clarissa
Dear Fridemar,
Thank you for thinking of us -- and for your continued dedication to the WeNameInitiative. Unfortunately, Name.com isn't currently in a position to contribute any time to this effort. We do hope this will change someday; in the meantime, good luck with your work!! Please do keep us updated.
Sincerely,
Clarissa Caldwell 10:21, 2 March 2009 (PST)
