\begin{abstract}
We give a detailed plan for the observation of Gamma Ray Bursts for the year
2005. All observations will be triggered mainly by alerts of the satellites \he, \ig   
and above all \sw. we expect an alert rate of a total of about 
\par
\ldots HOW MANY??? \ldots
\par
per year out of which only about 
\par
\ldots HOW MANY??? \ldots
\par
will be followed by a position. 
We give a detailed description of the observation procedures in La Palma and 
propose to review the situation in half a year from now.

{\ldots \it \bf STILL TO BE WRITTEN  \ldots \\}

\begin{verbatim}
email Nicola Galante: \\
\\
I calculated duty-cycle with a Sun zenith angle greater 
than 105 deg, which means that Sun must be at least 15 deg below 
horizon, and not with an angle of 115 deg. I tried this calculation also 
with a limit of 108 deg, because a lot of people assume that the 
astronomical sunset is when the Sun is 18 deg below horizon. Using this 
assumption the calculated duty-cycle decreases of about 4\%(from 1.225 to 
1.18 srad per year or from 9.75\% to 9.36\% vs 4pi srad per year). Anyway 
the definition of astronomical sunset influence the main cut on duty-cycle.
About wind I can say that the data I used were provided by NOT, which is 
situated in a place more windy than where MAGIC is growing up. I made 
the calculation also with other upper limits to wind's speed then the 
usual 10 m/s, and we can gain quite a lot of duty-cycle (even about 
1.5\%more vs 4pi srad per year) so it should be interesting to test the 
telescope during some windy or foggy days.
