Proposal Draft
The files below are DRAFT versions of the text. We make no promises that they are the most recent versions… Caveat emptor.
note: core document is moving to MS Word format, inevitably, this means that formatting oddities will appear as the ODT→DOC migration is rarely clean. We'll make a pass at formatting problems at the end of the process. Don't obsess over them now.
note: MS Word for the Mac does not handle section breaks properly when exporting to PDF.
Original Proposal as submitted to EC (version 2010-05-26):
please note that the above were updated prior to being accepted by the EC. Please refer to the NEXPReS Contract Documents list to see the version of the docs that were signed.

| 2009nov20 | doc | Huib consolidated finances across document | |
| 2009nov20 | doc | see the doc for what has changed. handing doc to Huib (i think) | |

| 2009nov19 | doc | Huib worked on: Overall textual consistency, outsider comments, partner contributions, first version resource table | |
| 2009nov14 | doc | LoS fixed, formatting updates, minor corrections. This should be fairly close in terms for format. Still have sections that need re-reading and additional text. | |
| 2009nov13 | doc | Most formatting fixed, gannts are in correct place, LoS included. Note, just noticed that i have the SPDO LoS wrong and forgot to add Mark's changes. Will update file tomorrow. | |
