Hello Carl!

I was there during the events that led to the creation of the position.. It 
occurred in Z1REGCON. It started with Jim Cannell bitching to David Moufarrege 
about the routing issues. (Which you could affirm with not all 10 REC's doing 
such a hot kob of tendering their lists regularly at that time), I even recall 
calling John Souvestre up voice and giving him the heads up on what Cannell was 
complaining about. You might recall John sometime during the Autumn of 1999 
taking Cannell to task over this issue a couple of times in a public echo. At 
that time, John and I both felt that from our perspectives, routing wasnt as 
screwed up as Cannell was intimating.

No the very first list was hatched into BACKBONE by Steve, how or why he chose 
that FDN I cannot say, but there was no flack over him trying to use another 
FDN.
