 \begin{abstract}
 We present a detailed strategy for the observation of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) for the first
-half year of 2005. All observations will be mainly triggered by alerts from \sw. In addition
-\he and \ig satellites will contribute to the number of alerts.
-We expect an alert rate in total of about 15 per months where 1--2 should be observable due to our
-duty cycle. Because it is still unknown how many alerts \sw will deliver in total and its precise sky coverage,
-we cannot predict the alert frequency better than 100\% uncertainty. This leads to a expected observation time
-of 5$\pm$5 hours per month. This number includes already observation during the moon time.
+half year of 2005. 
+All observations will be mainly triggered by alerts from \sw. 
+In addition, the \he and \ig satellites can contribute a small number of alerts.
+The \sw collaboration expects a total alert rate of about 15 per months -- 
+although with big uncertainties -- out of which 1--2 should be observable due to our
+duty cycle. The overlap in sky converages between \sw and \ma seems to be favorable for \ma. 
+As it is still unknown how many alerts \sw will deliver exactly, and how its sky coverage matches 
+with the one of \ma,
+we cannot predict the alert frequency now to better than 100\% uncertainty. 
+This leads to an expected observation time
+of 5$\pm$5 hours per month. This number includes observation during moon-time.
 We give a detailed description of the observation procedures in La Palma and
-propose to review the situation in half a year from now.
+propose to spend one dedicated night to test the automatic alert procedure 
+with the subsystem experts. 
+We suggest to review the situation in half a year from now.
