Hi Bil and Cana,

It is my understanding that the MOIRA feed to windsurf would be expanded to 
include the IPM servers, as well.  I believe, it would simplify people's 
understanding of what happens to administrative print queues entered into 
MOIRA if they follow the current, daily process from MOIRA to windsurf.

Once I have a chance to answer the Print Delivery's open inquiry about 
"who" should have access to IPM queues, this process may become even more 
important.  Within the print queue definition in MOIRA, there is an access 
restrict list.  Several of us believe that requiring IPM queue definitions 
to have a corresponding access restrict list will help address this open 
and critical question.

I promise to draft a response by Friday which will address the current open 
e-mails and highlight that by noting administrative queues within MOIRA and 
designating them for Arbor-Eater, Fiber, Pillage or Plunder and forwarding 
their critical characteristics along to windsurf will hopefully, streamline 
the process and create common understandings about process and ease problem 
resolution.

Thanks,
Theresa
