Organisation and planning
The planning committee, a government commission named the National Committee for the Ibsen Initiative (Nasjonalkomiteen for Ibsensatsingen), was appointed by the Ministry of Culture in 1997, and was headed by former Minister of Culture Lars Roar Langslet. The committee's mandate ceased in 2006/2007, with the conclusion of the Ibsen Year.[10]
Ibsenåret AS, a limited company, was the secretariat of the national committee, responsible for organising the Ibsen Year. It was first led by Steinar Hansson until his death in 2004, and then by Bentein Baardson. Baardson recruited Ibsen's great-great-granddaughter, Nora Ibsen, as the producer of the Ibsen Year.
