a. A proposal for the creation of a National Committee for Anthropological Heritage through a public regional institution responsible for authorizing and controlling intervention and conservation.

b. To establish bonds between institutions that deal with cultural heritage.

c. To design a Restoration Form for the regulation of interventions and the substances used.
