Off topic but this list seemed the most likely source of information to help me answer the query below. I think Jonathon Stone is now working for a US university. If anyone has any specific info on Jonathon or the old "backbone" that would be appreciated. Ta DPF

I am trying to track down information about the role that a person called "Jonathon Stone" may have played in the establishment of the Internet backbone in New Zealand and wondered if you had ever heard of him. I believe he may have been in the computer department of Victoria University at the time but in quite what capacity I do not know. I would be grateful for any information you might be able to let me have.

In any case, when exactly was the NZ Internet backbone installed and who was in charge of it anyway. I seem to recall it was a committee and not just the one person. Is there a FAQ or URL which covers all this?
