7. DE2 Memorandum of Understanding for KM3NeT- MEGO
MEGO – Marine Environment and Geosciences Observatory (of KM3NeT)
Role of MEGO will be fulfilled by EMSO-PP
Letters exchanged between co-ordinators of EMSO-PP and KM3NeT-PP that MOU should be concluded between EMSO & KM3NeT ERICs
MOU discussed in Paris October 2010, draft to be circulated – Allocation of resources to Data management

Power can be reduced by LEDs
What about sonars?
Motors (inductive load)
AUV docking
Crawlers ( Wally) , ROVs
Telecope power specifications decreasing
If multi-site, ES Science could dominate power budget. Needs to be reviewed in consulation.
