%% Summary %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{abstract}
We ask for observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) for the next six months of the year 2005.
We present a detailed strategy for the observation of GRBs, X-Ray Flashes (XRFs) and 
Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGR)
(which are included in our proposal, given their similarities to GRB phenomena).
The observations will be mainly triggered by \sw.
In addition, the \he and \ig satellites can contribute a small number of alerts.
The \sw collaboration expects a total alert rate of about 15 per month --
although with big uncertainties -- out of which 1--2 should be
observable by \ma due to our
duty cycle. The overlap in sky converages between \sw and \ma seems to be favorable for \ma.
As it is still unknown how many alerts \sw will deliver exactly, 
we cannot predict the alert frequency now to better than 100\%
uncertainty.  
This leads to an expected observation time of 5$\pm$5 hours per month.
This number includes observation during the moon-time.
We give a detailed description of the observation procedures in La Palma and
propose to spend few dedicated nights to test the automatic alert procedure
with the subsystem experts. We suggest to review the situation in half a year from now.
