4. Overview of NTS Functions and Responsibilities Acts on behalf of the ACS Council in matters relating to the chemical usage of nomenclature, terminology, symbols, and units. Coordinates activities within the SOCIETY. Consults with and advises editors of publications (including C&EN). Initiates, reviews, and recommends adoption of documents and proposals, as appropriate. Liaises with other national and international organizations, committees, and commissions similarly involved. Provides a means for members of the SOCIETY to participate in the consideration of these matters. American Chemical Society 4

5. NTS Committee Membership Experts in various fields of nomenclature, terminology, symbols, and units. Individuals active at all academic education levels. Membership in both national and international organizations. American Chemical Society 5

6. Past NTS Committee Activities Sponsored symposia on the “Past, Present, and Future of the Kilogram”, the “Nomenclature of Nanotechnology”, and a “Redefinition of the Kilogram”, etc. Actively involved in the decisions and setting of standards with, e.g., IUPAC and IEEE. Participated with ACS journal editors on the proper usage of nomenclature in SOCIETY journals. Work was initiated on the preparation of documents to explain the new SI definitions to ACS members, educators, and students. The naming of Element 112 (Copernicium, Cn) by the IUPAC was reported to the ACS American Chemical Society 6

7. Current NTS Committee Activities Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable composition and Biological Materials (UVCB) and their relationship in commerce. Symposium on the Redefining of the Kilogram and Mole (San Francisco). Increasing international visibility of ACS in matters concerned with nomenclature. Updates to nomenclature software. Joint Working Party on New Elements. U.S. Adopted Names Program. American Chemical Society 7
