  20. - Since April 2.008, the Ministry which manages R+D+i (currently the Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness) is in charge of funding RedIRIS and setting its basic strategy. The operational and technical management of RedIRIS has been entrusted to RED.ES until 2014.

    - RED.ES is a state-owned entity, with its own legal personality, but it belongs to the Ministry for Industry, Energy and Tourism, through its State Department for Telecommunications and Information Society.

    - The President of RED.ES is the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Information Society.

    - 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.

    - RedIRIS is one of the Departments of RED.ES, and it is managed by the Director of RedIRIS.

    - RedIRIS is mainly funded by the State Department for R+D+i of the Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness, which also sets its main priorities.

    To ensure proper coordination between RED.ES (as the entity managing RedIRIS) and the Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness (as the entity which pays for most of its activity and which provides the main guidelines), the latter is represented at the Board of Directors of RED.ES .

  35. The new dark fiber network, RedIRIS-NOVA, will be fully in operation (including the sea-cable to the Canary Island). We are working on new possible centralised services (VoIP, imrpoved e-mail interface, etc.). We are also working on a possible change of our user base, so that it could include cultural centers, hospitals and/or administrative bodies (this would have to be approved by the Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness)
