In December 2016, the ccNSO Council was informed that Patrick would step down as soon as the ccNSO Council would have found a new candidate. After a call for volunteers across the ccNSO communtiy and the subsequest selection process by the ccNSO Council, Dr Ben Fuller (.na) has been selected as Patrick’s replacement. Ben’ s email address is included in the cc. On behalf of the ccNSO Council Bart Boswinkel ccNSO senior policy advisor
