71\begin{abstract}
72We present a detailed strategy for the observation of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) for the first
73half year of 2005. All observations will be mainly triggered by alerts from \sw. In addition
74\he and \ig satellites will contribute to the number of alerts.
75We expect an alert rate in total of about 15 per months where 1--2 should be observable due to our
76duty cycle. Because it is still unknown how many alerts \sw will deliver in total and its precise sky coverage,
77we cannot predict the alert frequency better than 100\% uncertainty. This leads to a expected observation time
78of 5$\pm$5 hours per month. This number includes already observation during the moon time.
79We give a detailed description of the observation procedures in La Palma and
80propose to review the situation in half a year from now.
