01 / The challenge

Make the important part understandable.

The communications problem was larger than a single announcement. Afilias needed technical infrastructure work explained for registrars, partners, media and wider internet audiences while multiple markets and approval paths stayed aligned.

02 / The 3-phase playbook

A communications system, not a single announcement.

01 - Frame the change

Translate registry and infrastructure detail into a clear reason the transition mattered, with separate language for technical, commercial and public audiences.

02 - Coordinate the system

Connect the communications plan to agency partners, regional stakeholders, executive approvals and the timing of public announcements.

03 - Preserve the record

Maintain a searchable archive of official announcements so the program remains legible to journalists, partners and future communications teams.

03 / Retained archive

Read the underlying record.

The modern summary is an entry point, not a replacement for the historical source archive.
