===Partnership with DotGreen Community, Inc.===
In September 2014 it was announced that Afilias had partnered with DotGreen Community Inc. to provide the .green TLD. DotGreen had previously withdrawn from the contention ahead of the private auction that resulted in Afilias winning the string. Afilias will provide the technical backend for the Registry while the DotGreen Community will manage and market the TLD. The companies have also partnered with EarthShare to provide a portion of the profits to sustainability programs around the world.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/green---the-top-level-domain-for-the-global-green-economy-275267431.html .green - The Top Level Domain for the Global Green Economy] ''PR Newswire''; Retrieved 08 Oct 2014</ref>
