All, please find attached a draft proposal for ESS, lacking a few details (such as the actual design). Hugge, can you please insert the design drawing description and cost from the figures you have. My suggestion is that we send a reasonably simple proposal and design description to ESS. If they accept, each of us (SUNET, DeIC, NORDUnet) will go on and propose actual contracts to them. Let me know if you agree to the approach. /lars -- Lars Fischer - Strategy & Policy, NORDUnet <lars(a)nordu.net>et>, +45 2288 1729, @lpfischer
