Hilbert Bernays Project BYLAWS (Version of April 30, 2008):

We hope that these bylaws of the Hilbert Bernays Project will never
become necessary because it is a joint project of scientists 
sharing a common culture of learning, devoted to the 
benefit of the cultural heritage of mankind. 

(A) The only goal of the Hilbert Bernays Project is the publication of
    a bilingual (German/English) commented edition of 
    Grundlagen der Mathematik 1968/70,
    with reference to the changes as compared to the 1934/39 edition.
    A bilingual commented version of 
    Ackermann 1940 "Zur Widerspruchsfreiheit der
    Zahlentheorie" may be added in an appendix, but nothing else.

(B) The absolute majority of the 
    completeness of the advisory board (incl. chair) and the editors
    will be called the PLENUM.
    Only the PLENUM can change these bylaws.

(C) The contributors board is an open community. Everybody who wants 
    to participate is welcome. Only the PLENUM may exclude volunteers
    from the contributors board. The editors and the advisory board
    are part of the contributors board.

(D) The editors and the chair of the advisory board should
    receive carbon copies of any e-mail concerning the project
    and the scientific discussion on it
    by including grundlagen@ags.uni-sb.de into the CC field.

(E) After the completion of a preliminary version of a volume
    (it may be helpful to publish the original 2 volumes in 4 or 5 
     bilingual volumes) there will be a workshop meeting of the
    contributors board, but not earlier than 3 months after completion,
    to give the contributors a chance to read the volume. 
    The editors have to attend these workshops.
    The members of the advisory board are strongly recommended to attend.

(F) The editors and the chair of the advisory board
    (in consultation with the advisory board)
    decide which comments to include into the 
    preliminary volumes until the next workshop meeting,
    where the PLENUM makes a final decision on the issues.
