I. General 1. The Science Mission of CBM The goal of the CBM Collaboration is to built a dedicated heavy-ion detector to investigate the properties of highly compressed baryonic matter as it is produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions at the future accelerator facility in Darmstadt. The present design of the detector is described in the Letter of Intent. The primary mission of CBM is to study key questions of QCD in the region of moderate temperature and very high baryonic densities: confinement chiral symmetry restoration nuclear equation of state 2. Membership of the Collaboration Institutions Members 7. Plenary Meetings The full collaboration has 3-4 days meetings (CBM meetings) at least 2 times a year. The general forum, the CBM Plenary Meetings, assembles at these occasions. Plenary Meetings are open to all Members of the Collaboration. All major issues concerning the physics aims of CBM, the design of CBM detectors and other important matters are presented to the Plenary Meetings prior any decision in the Collaboration Board.

I. General 8. Milestones On the way to a full functioning Colaboration, te following steps are foreseen: Letter of Intent Memorndum of Unerstanding Technical Design Report Physics Performance Report Memorandum of Understanding for Maintenance and Operation

II. Collaboration Board 1. Role The Colaboration Board (CB), is the policy and decision making body of the CBM Collaboration 2. Membership One representative of each Member Institution Each Institution has one vote 3. Chairperson and Deputy 4. Meetings 5. Decision Procedures Decisions require 2/3 majority of the Institutions represented during the vote.

III. Management Structures 1. Management Board Role The CBM Management Board (MB) supervises the progress of the experiment, along the lines defined by the CB and prepares decisions for and makes recomandations to the CB Membership The CB Chairperson in consultation with the Collaboration and Spokesperson nominates members of the MB which are then elected by the CB Ex officio Members of the MB are the Spokesperson and Deputy, the Coordinators, the CB Chairperson and Deputy 2.
