Hmm, I'll go with A. The MDS pushing the policy to the SMO is the logical choice for the SMO Master. Who cares about member IDs anyway?

Yeah, I agree. Member IDs don't really matter in this case.

I think A makes sense. The MDS pushing policy to the SMO should be the SMO Master.

I think the Maestro component is automatically designated as the SMO Master, regardless of member ID.

But wouldn't it make more sense for the SGM with the highest member ID to be the SMO Master?

Wait, what's an MHO? I'm more concerned about why they couldn't come up with a better acronym than 'SMO'. Sounds like something you'd take for a cold.
