RED.ES is the registry for Spain's ccTLD, .es. The governmental organization was created in 2000 to transfer responsibilities from the private sector to the government.[1]
.es History[edit | edit source]
A timeline for the development of .es and its governing organizations are as follows:[1]
- 1989: The .es ccTLD is created by IRIS, which will later be known as RedIRIS; it is the Spanish National Research and Academic Network, then managed by Spain's only telecom operator, FUNDESCO.
- 1994: RedIRIS is managed by CSIC ("Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas", a Spanish national research council.
- 2000: The Spanish government decides that the .es registry should be managed by RED.ES, a newly formed government agency.
- 2003: Registration policies are partially liberalized, thus lifting some restrictions on the very restricted .es ccTLD.
- 2005: The Spanish government approves new legal provisions which lower registration fees and further liberalize registrations for .es, thus increasing the number of registrants.
- 2007: IDN]s are introduced.
- 2008: 1 million .es names are registered in July.
- 2012: After liberalizations of .es registrations, growth was quick for the ccTLD, which went from 85,000 registrations in 2004 to 1,550,000 in July 2012.
