ICANN
Dave was appointed to the ICANN Board for a three-year term by the Address Support Organization in May 2006.[1][2] His term ended six months after the conclusion of ICANN's annual meeting in 2009.[1]

Dave earned degrees in computing, education and genetics and has published papers on computerized management systems and genetic insect control. He has given presentations to companies such as American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN), Cisco, Equinix, ISPCON, NANOG, OFC/NFOEC, PAIX, Big Pipe, Switch & Data, the Global Peering Forum and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). He served as Director of IP Network Engineering for Shaw Communications, a Canadian communications company.[1]
Dave is known for being the first in Alberta to construct a wide area educational network and to extend Internet to the educational school system. He is also the first Canadian to do broadband data-over-cable trails with Shaw and created the company's first broadband Internet service offering. He is also the first Canadian to "deploy a national high-speed 10 gigabit Internet backbone and the first of the North American MSOs to extend peering into Europe".[1]

According to ICANN, "Dave is a strong supporter and advocate of open Internet and Industry standards. His work on getting vendors to support open GBIC/SFP standards has resulted in enhanced equipment interoperability as well as billions in savings world-wide for the telecommunications industry."[1]
