JD created the first IVU website in November 1995. In 1997, at the Council meeting in Bussolengo, Italy, he was co-opted onto the IVU International Council, then in January 1999 at the World Congress in Chiang Mai, Thailand, he was elected as a council member. As from January 1, 2000, he has been employed for a few hours per week as the IVU webmaster, and has therefore resigned from the elected position - but has been co-opted onto all Council sessions in an advisory, non-voting, capacity. In 2006 he was designated as IVU Manager, to include responsibility for members and supporters via the IVU Virtual Office.
