    - RED.ES has a Board of Directors, formed by several high representatives from different Ministries. The BoD meets at least once a month.

    - The day-to-day activity of RED.ES is in the hands of its Director General.

  35. Red.es/RedIRIS IRIS has launched a 138 M € project, called RedIRIS NOVA, for the provision of a dark fibre network (including optical equipment) for the next 20/30 years.

    Red.es launched a 130 M €call for tenders (through competitive dialogue) in November 2008. A final decision was taken on November 2009. Additional, smaller tenders might be called afterwards. The winning bidders are expected to deploy most of the requested optical equipment and network before October 2011, when the current RedIRIS-10 contract expires.
