AWHS Charter 

             Penned by Mgib and accepted by the AWHS.


I- Aim of the Society.

 The aim of AWHS is to preserve and restore valuable buildings in AW which
participate in the enjoyment of the place and the soul of the community throughout
it's history.
 Concerned buildings are those built by persons who are no more AW citizens denoted here after as "NAC" ("not a citizen"). 
 AWHS modestly intends to try to be an expression of the whole community and to
act in its name.

 Therefore, it is the duty of AWHS members, aware of their responsibilities
toward the community, 
 - to take care their opinions, choices and acts are the result of points of
view from enough of them so to be as representative as possible.
 - to report to the public their activities.
 - to check their aims and the way they are materialized are in accordance with the public opinion on its main lines, as far as a public opinion maybe be
identified on a specific point.


 II- Members and President.

 Members of the AWHS are AW citizens with a minimum of experience so to be
aware of uses in the community and AW buildings. 

 The President is the official liaison with COF, to other groups and associations representing or working for the community and internal medias for the community.

  The President acts in name of the Society from the expression of its members.
The President may delegate missions to members under his/her responsibility.

 III- Missions.

 a) Preservation.

 AWHS identifies the buildings and sites to be preserved from deletion,
acquisition or vandalism and negotiates with COF pertaining to practical issues.

 As far as possible, AWHS preserves the credit of the builder bringing to the
attention of visitors by relevant means, NAC name, date, citizen number and any useful information
including the fact the building is under AWHS protection.

 b) Restoration.

 AWHS will submit to COF its plans of restoration projects and must be mandated by COF to bring said plans to completion.

 Restoration includes in addition to preservation rules:

 - Identification of obvious trash or vandalism which damages the site and were not obviously a part the original owners intention. Deletion
being submitted to PeaceKeepers.

 - Filling uncovered land or cracks with the appropriate material so to prevent
future vandalism.

 - Replacing missing pieces or fixing misplacements as far as they are obvious
flaws from what can be understood in the builder's intention and style. 

 - Any change is done carefully and in doubt the no change option is prefered.

 -no added improvements are done to "embellish" the place. AWHS only preserves and does not build.

 -Records are kept of restoration: date, participating members, picture of the site
before restoration, choice made in main alternatives and any other events
allowing to comments or explanations in regards of responsibility of the
Society.

 Restoration is always done by a pair of members, and with the advice of a
larger group of members when needed.
