== New Zealand Paintball Players Association ==

Dannefaerd was among the founders of the [[New Zealand Paintball Players Association]] established in August 2001.

According to his published professional history, the organisation was formed by paintball players and industry representatives to promote grassroots participation and provide a channel of communication between the sport and government agencies. [3]

Dannefaerd served as NZPPA president during the early 2000s and was interviewed in that capacity by New Zealand Paintball Online in 2003. [4]

The association's work included discussions with New Zealand Police and Customs concerning paintball equipment, importation requirements and the regulation of the sport.

In an April 2014 article on compressed-air equipment, [[Asylum Paintball]] credited Dannefaerd, fellow administrator [[Grant McNeil]] and the former NZPPA for their work around 2003 and 2004 on regulatory issues affecting paintball air cylinders. [5]

Dannefaerd's professional profile lists his involvement with the NZPPA from August 2001 until October 2010.

An earlier incorporated society bearing the same association name existed between 1992 and 2000. Its legal relationship with the organisation established in 2001 has not been confirmed.
