Weird that it's not available in the UK - it would have been nice to do this!
Also European Union and India!

He's going to have to do a lot of cameo's to pay for that.
Good summary! Not sure about that conclusion. I don't imagine there are roving bands of these specialized DNS network architects to whom you can magically outsource the operations.
The whole thing just strikes me as the continued under-valuing of this kind of maintenance work. It's not glamorous, you often work for a government/non-profit that pays less, on-call is brutal, and the chronic short-staffing is a pain multiplier. Not exactly the best foundation for an entire country's internet infrastructure to sit atop.
But DNSSEC in root zones isn't unique to .nz.
.au, .us, .com, .net, .gov, .io, etc all have the same challenges.
- Responsible for .nz tld are staffed by 4 technical employees doing 24x7 on call support
- Engagement surveys captured staff feeling fatigued and under resources at entire org level
- Hard to hire for roles due to specialisation
- Team moving away from BAU work to projects
- Issues raised by external partner but team had other immediate work pressures
- Had to contact ex-employee that use to worked there to help resolve
- Once a year critical take just done by one team member
- Many IT operations tasks have sufficient external dependencies that it is impossible to tell – for certain that the task will be successful in production without doing the task in the production environment. - We've all been there.
Sounds like InternetNZ should actually outsource all of this to an external party and just focus on governance work.

I wonder if he purchased the license through a vendor which supports o365, or from Microsoft directly.
It sounds like he's the sole user on an o365 account. I wonder if his account was compromised leading to the loss of access. Seems kind of negligent on his behalf if he's the sole (admin) user. If his company has compliance requirements, meeting them would have likely addressed this issue.
Quick temporary fix would be to change public-facing DNS records: MX and likely (hopefully) SPF & DKIM, pointing them to a different mail host. At least that way he could get his email.
You'll be surprised that non-technical users will just keep trying with the vendor until fixed.
They won't help themselves and just switch and wait for the other provider to fix.
Google really annoyed early adopters of Google Apps (now workspace) with the legacy to paid migration, then oh no you don't have to pay here's 300 free user licences nonsense.
I can totally see how CIOs and other tech savvy leaders in business really look at anything they use Google related and wonder to themselves if it might be wise to look at alternatives.
I agree with lot of comments in that Twitter thread.

Is anyone happy with Gitlab public runners?
I've found them extremely unreliable both in my free account (every failure takes 1-2 mins away from my 50 minutes!) and in my employers paid subscription so we self run but run into issues with not being able to scale runners enough to meet developers demands.
Its also super annoying that you can't use your own docker containers hosted on ECR on public runners (no way to provide auth)
So why did investors have to loose big time on a 1.8B loss when the bank had 16B in assets?
Seems like SVB was scarified
Insiders are pissed they don’t have billions of stock like other big tech founders.
