\end{itemize}  An extensive description of Electroweak measurements performed at LEP and SLC in 1988-1998 can be found in~\cite{ements_on_the_Z_resonance_2006}. It is beyond the scope of this article to revisit all the measurements to establish the improvements brought about by TLEP, and we limit ourselves to a few key measurements. The typical improvement in statistics over the LEP experiments being a factor $10^5$ (a factor 300 reduction in statistical errors!) it is clear that a detailed consideration of systematic errors will be essential before a precise conclusion will be drawn on the achievable precisions. In addition, uncertainties in the theoretical interpretation will need to be revisited, this implying a significant new program of calculations of higher order Electroweak corrections.   The Z mass was determined at LEP from the line-shape scan to be $91187.5 \pm 2.1$ MeV/$c^2$. The statistical error was 1.2 MeV; it would be below 10 keV at TLEP. The systematic error was dominated by the error related to the beam energy calibration (1.7 MeV). As seen in the previous section, a continuous measurement should allow a reduction to below 100 keV. Other errors include the theoretical uncertainties in the calculation of initial state radiation ( $\le 100 keV$), production of additional lepton pairs ( $\le  300 keV$) and in the theoretical line shape parametrization ( $\le 100 keV$). It is clear that revisiting the QED corrections will be a high priority item when embarking in a new program of precision measurements at TLEP. \\ {\em We consider that 100 keV is a reasonable target goal for the Z mass precision at TLEP}.  The Z width was also determined from the line shape scan to be $2495.2 \pm 2.3$ MeV/$c^2$. The statistical error was 2 MeV and would be again less that 10 KeV at TLEP. The systematic uncertainty from the LEP energy calibration was 1.2 MeV, clearly dominated by the reproducibility issues. Again this should be reduced to below 100 keV at TLEP.   The theory systematics on $\Gamma_Z$ were estimated at the level of ( $\le 200 keV$) and should be revisited..   {\em We consider that 100 keV is a reasonable target goal for the Z width precision at TLEP}.    Combining the Z width with the measurements of the peak cross-section and ratio branching fractions of the Z boson into lepton to hadrons one can determine the leptonic width of the Z.
