GENERAL
 
    Our TESLA-chapter of the 1997 CDR serves as a good basis also for the TDR. It is, of course, necessary to re-write the sections because of our progress with the design, which affects practically all sub-systems of the machine. Moreover, the TDR will include information not present in the CDR (e.g. the cost estimate, the experience from TTF linac operation, etc.). It also seems advantageous to arrange the sections of the TDR in a different way as it was done in the CDR. For example, the successful R&D programme at TTF as our most important achievement of the past years deserves its own main section at a prominent position in the report (directly after the project overview). The sub-systems related to the FEL will this time be described in the machine chapter, whereas the User Facility (including photon beam lines) will remain part of the FEL chapter. We also concluded that instead of having a separate ``Instrumentation'' section, instrumentation issues should be included in the respective sections describing the sub-systems. A tentative table-of-contents, from which the structure of the TDR should become more clear, is included in this note.

REFERNCES
 
    In order to keep the TDR ``readable'' we should avoid to overload it with too many technical or beam physics details. All authors are therefore advised to confine their contributions to the most essential points and to keep within the page limits specified as a rough guideline in the table-of-contents. More information can be provided by papers cited in the bibliography of each main section. It is planned to make the papers cited in the TDR available electronically, so that readers (especially referees!) have easy access to them (by ``clicking'' on the respective literature reference in the Web- or CD-ROM version of the TDR). There may be a copyright problem with Scientific Journal papers in this context, this has to be clarified, so we may have to restrict this option to TESLA- and other laboratory reports and conference papers.

SUMMARIES
 
    As a general rule each main section of the report should give a brief summary/overview of the sub-system to be described in the following. For example, the ``Main Linac'' section should start with a description of which basic units the linac consists of, what is its overall layout, etc. This introductory section should be concluded by a table listing the main technical components required (number of modules, superstructures, cavities, couplers, klystrons, BPM's, ...). The more detailed description of the technical components and their functionality and, where applicable, the beam physics follows in the sub-sections.
