As the composition of the group requesting the formation of the Division shows, the interest is not limited to the United States. The signatures were quickly obtained from leading scientists from other countries. We are certain that when a probationary Division will be approved many more members will join within a short time. Plans are started to have the first symposium at the 2017 Spring ACS Meeting in San Francisco.
