- There were regular NOAF meetings in 2012-2017, but there have been no meetings in the last couple of years
- The Nordic licensing consortia have their own network, and there are probably other types of co-opeation as well
- The NOAF mailing list hasn't been used that much in recent years and doesn't probably include all of the relevant people
- Nordic Perspectives on Open Science was founded to continue the legacy of ScieCom Info, but hasn't been able to attract as many articles
