DPF

I am a regular commentator in the media on political and technology issues. I consider myself to be highly informed on polling, New Zealand politics, Internet domain names and electoral law issues.

I am reasonably knowledgeable on politics in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States plus on Internet public policy issues. Oh and also on good pinot noirs.

I can bluff and sound reasonably coherent on wider Internet issues, social media and plays.

Please note that I receive a huge amount of e-mail every day. I do read it all, but it can sometimes take me several days or longer to reply to something if it is non trivial. I’m not rude, just busy. The best way to get something to my immediate attention is a phone call or a text message.
