Re: Tagger Spec

Dear Tim and Franz,

okay, I think we should leave things as they are now and try to really get
the contract bid. I can create final versions with the latest remarks
included and submit the PO so the process can start.

I think we should not put the 31st of may in but leave things as Tim
suggest and we discussed on one of the meetings. As the Tagger final
procurement is relatively late we are good with a 80% design foloowing the
PED guidance we got at the Lehmann review. I think we want high quality,
so better don't rush it to much.

Cheers elke
