UCCO Press Office Surface Brief¶

SURFACE: pr.ucco.foundation (NEW — needs Worker + DNS record)
OPS STUB: ops.ucco.foundation — new "Press Office" page under MEMBERSHIP section
CF ACCOUNT: aed3398a4e698767328cc3a9e698721d (FOUNDATION account)
DO NOT TOUCH: ucco-site, ucco-api, ucca-engine, ucca-ops, or any UCCA surface

→ TIM¶

This builds the foundation's public press office at pr.ucco.foundation and wires it into ops. Two parts:

Public surface — the URL a journalist hits. Press releases, founder bio, logo pack, stock photos, fact sheet, pre-written interviews, media contact form. Static site with asset downloads. A journalist should be able to write a story about UCCO without ever emailing you.
Ops integration — a Press Office page in the Membership section of ops.ucco.foundation. Inbound media request tracker, asset library management, media contact database. This is where you manage the press office from the inside.

The public surface is deployable quickly — it's a well-designed static site with file downloads from R2. The ops page is a stub that gets richer as we build out the Broadcast and Channels infrastructure.

This needs to exist before the seed letters drop. First impressions are permanent with press.

Part 1 — Infrastructure Setup¶

New Worker¶

Create a new Cloudflare Worker: ucco-pr

Route: pr.ucco.foundation/*
Zone: ucco.foundation (already in foundation CF account)
DNS: CNAME or A record for pr subdomain, proxied through Cloudflare
SSL: Full (Strict) — inherited from zone settings

Stack¶

Static site served from a Cloudflare Worker. HTML/CSS/JS — no framework needed for this surface. Assets (logos, photos, documents) served from R2.

R2 Bucket¶

Create: ucco-press-assets

Directory structure:

/logos/
  ucco-logo-colour.svg
  ucco-logo-colour.png
  ucco-logo-colour.eps
  ucco-logo-white.svg
  ucco-logo-white.png
  ucco-logo-mono.svg
  ucco-logo-mono.png
  ucco-icon-colour.svg
  ucco-icon-colour.png
/photos/
  (founder headshots, product screenshots — added later)
/documents/
  ucco-fact-sheet.pdf
  ucco-foundation-overview.pdf
/releases/
  (press releases as markdown or HTML — added later)

Note: Tim will need to provide the actual logo files and headshots. For now, create the bucket and directory structure with placeholder README files in each directory explaining what goes there.

CF Access¶

This surface is PUBLIC — no CF Access. The whole point is journalists can access it without authentication.

Part 2 — Public Surface Design¶

Design language¶

This is a public-facing foundation surface. It must look professional, serious, and institutional — not startup, not tech demo.

Clean white background
Typography: system font stack, generous whitespace
Colour: Prussian blue #01497C for headings and navigation, #012A4A for body text, #10B981 green for CTAs and download buttons only
No dark mode on this surface — it's a press office, not a dev tool
Mobile responsive (journalists work from phones too)

Page structure¶

Single-page layout with anchor navigation. One URL, everything accessible by scrolling or jumping to sections.

#about — About UCCO Foundation

About UCCO Foundation

The UCCO Foundation governs the Universal Capability Chain Object (UCCO) — 
an open standard for cryptographic capability verification.

The internet solved data transport (TCP/IP), identity (OAuth), and credentials 
(W3C Verifiable Credentials). UCCO completes the stack: a protocol layer that 
proves what someone can actually do, not just who they are or what certificates 
they hold.

The standard is open. The foundation is independent. The specification is 
currently in Draft for Public Comment (v1.1 Rev2) and has been submitted for 
adoption consideration to ISO TC 307, NIST NCCoE, and the W3C Verifiable 
Credentials Working Group.

Founded: 2026
Jurisdiction: Kentucky, United States (nonprofit corporation)
Governing document: UCCO Standard Specification v1.1 Rev2
Website: ucco.foundation
Standard repository: github.com/ucco-foundation/ucco-standard

Part 3 — Email Setup¶

For now: manual alias only if needed¶

Email infrastructure migration is planned but deferred (see UCCO-Email-Infrastructure-Roadmap-v1.md). The foundation email currently lives on Google Workspace via ucca.edu.au.

Do NOT set up Cloudflare Email Routing. MX records stay pointing to Google.

The contact form on the press page references press@ucco.foundation. Two options:

If Tim has created the alias in Google Admin: form submissions email to press@ucco.foundation (which delivers to admin's Gmail inbox). Use this address in the form and confirmation text.
If no alias exists yet: form submissions go to D1 only (media_requests table) with no email notification. The ops Press Office page surfaces inbound requests. Add a note on the contact page: "We'll respond within 24 hours" — Tim checks ops, not email.

Option 2 is the safer default. It means the contact form works without any email config. Tim monitors inbound requests through ops. Email notification can be wired later when aliases exist.

For the page text, still display press@ucco.foundation as the contact address — Tim will create the alias manually in Google Admin when the surface goes live. Until then, the form is the primary inbound channel.

Part 4 — D1 Tables¶

Add to the foundation's pioneer-db (or create a new press-db if cleaner — Tim to decide):

media_requests¶

CREATE TABLE media_requests (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  name TEXT NOT NULL,
  email TEXT NOT NULL,
  outlet TEXT,
  deadline TEXT,
  message TEXT,
  status TEXT DEFAULT 'new',  -- new / responded / archived
  responded_at TEXT,
  notes TEXT,
  created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
  updated_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
);

press_subscribers¶

CREATE TABLE press_subscribers (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  email TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
  subscribed_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
  unsubscribed_at TEXT
);

Part 5 — Ops Integration¶

New page in ops.ucco.foundation¶

Add "Press Office" as a new page under the MEMBERSHIP section in the sidebar.

Position it after "Channels":

◆ MEMBERSHIP
├── Overview
├── Outreach
├── Broadcast
├── Media Library
├── Channels
└── Press Office    ← NEW

Press Office ops page content (stub for now)¶

Press Office
pr.ucco.foundation — public press surface

Status: [live badge when deployed]

Surface: pr.ucco.foundation
Assets: R2 ucco-press-assets bucket  
Contact: press@ucco.foundation

Inbound Requests
┌────────┬──────────┬────────────┬──────────┬────────┐
│ Date   │ Name     │ Outlet     │ Deadline │ Status │
├────────┼──────────┼────────────┼──────────┼────────┤
│ (empty — no requests yet)                          │
└────────┴──────────┴────────────┴──────────┴────────┘

Press Subscribers: 0
Assets uploaded: 0 / logos, 0 / photos, 0 / documents

When fully built, this page will show:
• Inbound media request tracker with response status
• Press subscriber list management  
• Asset library with upload/tag/version control
• Media contact database (journalists, outlets, beats)
• Press release drafting and approval workflow
• Embargo tracker
• Download analytics (which assets, how often, by whom)

Wire the inbound requests table to the media_requests D1 table when the data exists. For now, the stub is enough.

Part 6 — Deployment Checklist¶

Create R2 bucket ucco-press-assets with directory structure
Create Worker ucco-pr with route pr.ucco.foundation/*
Add DNS record for pr subdomain on ucco.foundation zone
Deploy the public surface HTML
Set up Cloudflare Email Routing for press@ucco.foundation
Create D1 tables (media_requests, press_subscribers)
Wire the contact form to D1 + email notification
Wire the subscribe form to D1
Add Press Office page to ops.ucco.foundation sidebar
Verify: public access works (no CF Access), form submission works, email routing works
Commit ucco-pr to a new repo on ucco-foundation GitHub org (or add to ucco-ops if preferred)

Assets Tim needs to provide¶

Before this surface is complete, Tim needs to supply: - [ ] UCCO Foundation logo files (SVG source, PNG exports, EPS) - [ ] Logo variants (colour, white, mono, icon-only) - [ ] Founder headshots (Tim, Jimmy — high-res, professional) - [ ] Foundation fact sheet content (for PDF generation) - [ ] Brand usage guidelines (if more detailed than what's in the brief)

The surface can deploy with placeholder text ("Logo files coming soon") and be updated as assets arrive. Don't block deployment on assets.
