1. OPENING SESSION

1.1 Welcome and apologies


2

RGJ welcomed Members and Observers to the Subcommittee on Polymer Terminology (SPT) meeting. Warm thanks were expressed to Prof. Yusf Yagci for facilitating our stay and for organising the social events.

Apologies were received from Prof. Giuseppe Allegra (GA), Prof. Alain Fradet (AF, France), Dr. Jaroslav Kahovec (JK, Czech Republic), Prof. Tatsuki Kitayama (TK, Japan), Prof. Przemysław Kubisa (PKu), Prof. Mario Malinconico (MM), and Prof. Robert “Bob” Stepto (RS). Warm wishes for Bob’s speedy recovery were expressed. PKu had also indicated that he wished to resign from SPT; he was heartily thanked for his contributions over a considerable number of years.

1.2 Approval of the Minutes from the San Juan SPT meeting in 2012The minutes were approved.

1.3 Matters arising from the 2012 Minutes (i) Updating Purple Book – RGJ

RGJ reported on the Second Edition of the Purple Book (PB2). It contains reprints of SPT publications on nomenclature and terminology to 2008. The RSC will relinquish its five year copyright at the start of 2014; IUPAC will then be free to publish the document on the weband include new chapters (SPT published output since 2008) in a second volume in order to avoid renumbering pages and the index.

It was noted that in all probability it was only JK who had carefully read each and every word of PB2. RGJ expressed appreciation for this huge contribution and PK said that it was unfortunate that he was not present. Others had also made major input to the preparation of the book, RS and TW, together with MH, TK and the late Dr. Val Metanomski. PK and Prof. Aubrey Jenkins (AJ) had also contributed in an advisory capacity. Action: RGJ to prepare PB2 for direct access from the Division IV web pages and the second volume in a consistent style, by the end of 2013.

(ii) New members of SPTSPT has four new members from last year, and new Observers by invitation this year, Dr Malcolm Purbrick and Dr Malika Jeffries-El. Their presence and that of the official IUPAC Observers was welcomed.

(iii) Current status of the Blue Book – item 1.6 KHHKHH reported that the revision of the Blue Book, originally started by the Organic Division(Division III), had become a Division VIII responsibility. This work impacted on nomenclature work within other divisions, particularly the Polymer Division within whichpolymer nomenclature is progressed by SPT.

Work in Division VIII on preferred names in organic chemistry was overly complicated and gave reason for this complete revision. The revised Blue Book has gone through many internal revisions. Last year a draft was sent to a professional copy editor. During this process, the copy editor found inconsistences, and further work was necessitated. The remaining work consisted of proof reading the 60 page appendix, which is now with two members of Division VIII. The final approval for the document came in the division meeting two days ago. Of the remaining work, KHH will proof-read the introduction and the manuscript will go to thepublisher at the end of the month. Assembling the index is a remaining and considerable task. The Blue Book will be 1576 pages plus forword and index. The final copy will be available at the end of the year.

The copyright will be owned initially by the RSC, although for what period is not yet known. RGJ sounded a note of caution in that many institutions remained rather selective of

the books to which they subscribe for on-line access. Typically, amongst RSC books, though hard copy was available in the library, the Purple Book was not accessible on-line at the University of Kent.1.4 Publications since the Roanoke Meeting

On item (ii), the “Brief Guide”, RCH listed the nine reprints (in addition to the published article in PAC) and numerous references that this work has been given in journals’ Instructions to Authors. The full list is reprinted in Appendix 6 of this document. RCH was congratulated on the success of the project. He in turn noted that it was the exceptional work of JK, KHH, RB, RGJ and indeed the whole Task Group that had made it possible. CSdetailed how the document could be easily sold in printed form. RCH stated that quotes were currently being sought. It was suggested by JPV that the Polymer Education site and Polymer Societies might be asked to distribute copies.Action: RCH

1.5 Chairperson’s CommunicationsAll colleagues were urged to make contact with potential observers who we could welcome to our meetings.

It was announced that with effect from the 31st December 2013 RGJ would resign from the position of Chairperson and that the new Chairperson was to be elected through a democratic process. All were invited to make nominations to MH until midday Tuesday, 13th

August, after which an election would be held.All members, particularly new members, were encouraged to submit new projects for

consideration. Without new projects there would be no money for attendance at meetings and without project association no individual can be funded.

The project numbering system was explained as follows, for example, 2012-042-1-400…

1.6 Social EventWarm thanks were extended to Prof. Yusuf Yagci for his organisation of the Saturday evening walk and evening meal in central Istanbul, and also for the tour and meal planned forthe following Wednesday.

1.7 Timetable for Project Discussions and Social EventsA project timetable, pre-prepared by RGJ and CKL, was displayed and everyone agreed upon the version shown in Appendix 2.

2. Projects2.1 Projects submitted to ICTNS & public review2005-005-2-400 (2011-033-1-400) Terminology of Properties of Macromolecules in

Solution – Stepto This document, originally given the same title as Chapter 3 of the Purple Book, has now been changed to Definitions of Terms Relating to Individual Macromolecules, Macromolecular Assemblies, Polymer Solutions and Amorphous Bulk Polymers. PK and others would have preferred that it retained the original title; it is in effect a successor to Chapter 3 and this should be made clear. RGJ will contact RS to discuss changing the title.Action: RGJ

2006-004-1-400 Abbreviations – HeJust prior to his arrival in Istanbul, JH received reports from referees following submission to ICTNS and public review. The Task Group had dealt with one set of comments, a second remained to be assessed before the end of this SPT meeting. Some comments were quite severe, but all could be dealt with. Advice from SPT was sought on the removal of a small section on generic names, in common with other project documents. It was generally felt that this would be an appropriate thing to do. Thus, final changes including the revision of the names in the appendix would be accomplished in the coming days, with a view to resubmission in the near future.

Action: JH

2.2 Projects in the final stages of preparation2001-081-1-800 Terminology and Structure-Based Nomenclature of Dendritic and

Hyperbranched Polymers – Fradet & KahovecRGJ had reported that from exchanges with AF, the document was considered ready to go forward to public review. However, there would be further consideration of the document in Istanbul (vide infra).Action: AF

2.3 New projects approved2012-042-1-400 Terminology Relevant to Lactic Acid-based Polymers: Synthesis,

Structure, Properties, Applications and Degradation – VertThe project was given final approval in March 2013. However, as the project application had been submitted in 2012, funds had been allocated for the period from then to the end of 2013, which raised concerns that they would, in effect, be cut short. MV will contact Dr. Fabienne Meyers about this.


5

Lactic acid-based polymers are important in medicine and the environment, so MV will seek additional TG members from Div. VI and Div. VII. Lactic acids are chiral, and therefore KHH’s involvement was felt to be important to the project. The project will have a small section on nomenclature.

RGJ remarked that the title was too long. It was agreed to work with the running titleTerminology of Lactic acid-based polymers.

The first TG meeting would take place later in the week (vide infra).Action: MV

2.4 Projects for deliberation within Task Groups2.4.1 Polymer Division projects2003-060-2-400 Terminology on Separation of Macromolecules – New TGL required This project had become dormant; the introduction of a new Task Group Leader (TGL) would revive the project and ensure its fruitful continuation. MH kindly agreed to take on this role. It was noted that Tabak had withdrawn, and that others i.e., Berek, Dvankoc, Gilbert and Jandera, as far as the group were aware, had not been involved. It was decided to reduce the Task Group down to the minimum size in order to streamline and reactivate this project.Action: MH

2006-028-1-400 Terminology for Conducting, Electro-active and Field-responsive Polymers – Vohlídal

The document was studied by the Task Group, to which MJE joined and contributed. Around a third of the terms were discussed in detail and the title was changed. It was agreed that the document would be shared between TGMs by Dropbox (to be set up by MW). It was expected that it would take another year or so to complete the document, and then another six months or so to complete review. Therefore there would be a request for a project extension of one year to end at the beginning of 2015. It is noted that delays had occurred due to a complex transfer of Chairpersons.Action: JV

2007-008-1-400 Multilingual Encyclopedia – dos SantosThe project is now published as the Polymer Glossary of Basic Terms in Polymer Science, with a point of access in the Polymer Education website through an address hosted in Brazil:http://www.iceb.ufop.br/dequi/iupac/polymerglossary/index.php

A search engine is now available for terms and for each definition translations are automatically available in Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Czech and Polish. The translations of both the terms and their accompanying definitions are not complete; further work must be done to update them, and extend the translations to non-alphabetic, character-based languages such as Chinese. Given the size and powerful impact of this project, a request, at least for a second extension, and at most for a new project status as a rolling extension, will be made.Action: CDS and RGJ

2008-015-1-400 Preferred Names of Polymers – MormannThe manuscript is nearing completion. The group has extensively studied the names of monomer units from all Div. IV documents. For each entry there are now up to five names in a preferred order. However, a sticking point remains which is severely impeding the TG’s work: it is not clear as to whether the preferred structure-based name for the repeating unit -CH2–CH2– should be named ethylene or ethane-1,2-diyl. From the document, Nomenclature of Regular Single-Strand Organic Polymers, Pure Appl. Chem., 74(10), 1921-


6

1956, 2002, it is ethylene, and from the same document’s republication in the Purple Book it is ethane-1,2-diyl. Different opinions existed within the TG on this matter, and given its importance it was felt that a vote from SPT would be required. If a decision could be called today then the manuscript could be prepared for review by next March. A vote was tabled for Any Other Business (vide infra).Action: RGJ and WM

2008-020-1-400 Revision of the Division IV Web-based Terminology Guidelines – HodgeThe TG dealt with four-fifths of the manuscript. Corrections were promised in the near future. NS will set up a Dropbox account for the project, but due to TGM requirements, the manuscript will also be sent by e-mail. Once the document is completed, CKL will enter hyperlinks. Action: PH, CKL, NS and TGMs

2009-047-1-400 Stereochemical Aspects in Polymer Science – Hellwich & Moad Since the last meeting, a collection of some specific examples which might create problemshad been made. The TG discussed them. It became apparent that there was not enough time available to bring the document to conclusion in accordance with the original timescale. KHHpreferred simpler examples, while complicated ones kept arising. Three different paths were thus explored: that the document be made dormant until more resources were available; that the document was abandoned and reactivated at a later date, a problem given that finances remained; or the agreed and consensual view that a minimal revision of the earlier document should be made so as to at least deliver a final work.

The minimal revision included introducing m and r terms in place of meso and racemic, using copolymer nomenclature more fully, and removing the section on crystallinity as it isalready in the GA/VSM crystalline polymers document. While KHH will derive the copolymer nomenclature, GM will do the remainder. The final document will be submitted within the next twelve months.Action: GM and KHH

2010-007-1-400 Terminology for Chain Polymerization – MoadIn the TG meeting, consensus was reached on all terms except for those on using coordination polymerization, which is still in contention. The current plan is to change the document into a formal format, and then garner more input from the TGMs on the various terms. A deadline of the end of the year was considered reasonable for this document to go out to TGMs. A further member may be required; TGMs are invited to suggest names of people active in the area of coordination polymerizations. Action: GM and TGMs

2010-036-1-400 List of Keywords – SlomkowskiSS presented a substantial list of keywords that had been prepared by PKu. The list which willeventually be of use to publishers, statisticians, and authors was e-mailed to all who expressed interest in the document; those new members with a firm intention to remain in the task group should notify SS before end-November.

SS would reorder the alphabetical list so that the keywords would be classed by themes and in the typical IUPAC document format, thus helping the reader. In parallel, TGMs will contribute additional keywords before the end of November. SS stated the desire to see this project extended; he will forward an application form for RGJ’s consideration before beginning October 2013.Action: SS, CDS, CKL, CS, MW, MP, NS, PKu, RA, RGJ and TN

2011-013-2-400 Updating Wikipedia: Synchronizing Polymer Definitions and Terminology – Hess

MH presented the extensive work of the TG in making entries into Wikipedia. In particular, NS and her student were thanked for their input. It became clear from the discussion that IUPAC has a role to play in providing IUPAC definitions for Wiki use, but that respect should be paid to the independent nature of Wiki.

IUPAC definitions might be modified (or even vandalised) in Wiki but a ‘bot’ could be activated so that the author would be alerted to the change and could thus take reparative steps. Typically this could be done through definitions placed in a box on the right-hand side of the Wiki page. However, such alerts were more difficult to initiate for content in the main-body of the text which was considered to be subject to the style of the Wiki-editors and as such its ongoing modification was to be expected.

MH and the TGMs of the Wiki project were congratulated by RGJ. An extension to this project was to be expected and, much like the Multilingual project, it was felt that there was a strong case for it to be a long-term, rolling project. An extension will be applied for. Please note that a more detailed report on this project is given in Appendix 6.Action: MH

2012-001-1-400 Terminology of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Polymer Science –Ober & Jones

CKO presented a list of terms and preliminary definitions which he had assembled over the last few weeks with the help of TGMs. It was a very complete list so was subjected to an exercise of selection and de-selection. CKO will now reorganize the terms, grouping them under common themes and then sectionalise the manuscript. He will be assisted by RGJ, who will also format the document. It is expected that this will be completed by the end of 2013, so that the document can be returned to TGMs for their consideration.Action: CKO and RGJ

2012-042-1-400 Terminology of Lactic acid-based polymers – VertCS reported for MV. The first TG meeting took place this week for this new project. Challenges were found in describing correctly the structure of poly(lactic acid) (PLLA); future work will concentrate on clarifying the structural ambiguities particular to PLLA.

As noted earlier, start and finish dates for this project need to be adjusted by contacting Dr. Fabienne Meyers.Action: MV and CS

2012-048-2-400 A Brief Guide to Polymer Terminology – Hiorns and VohlídalRCH made a short presentation on the project’s aims and asked TGM’s views on themethodology for selecting terms. A review of the published work in the area of terminology revealed which documents contained many essential terms as opposed to those which offered only several basic terms for use in the guide. TGMs were asked to select terms and send them to RCH and JV.

An initial draft of the document prepared by JV was also presented to the TG. It was decided to check the list of generated terms against the draft and see where inclusions and redactions might be required.


8

Many members expressed interest in joining this TG so it was decided that final membership will be decided on levels of participation. There could arguably be an exception in the size of this group because the document covers such a wide range of SPT work.

RCH will collect comments from the meeting and send an e-mail before end-Septemberto all interested persons with requests for selected terms and confirmation of participation. Action: RCH

2.4.3 Interdivisional projects not listed elsewhere

1999-051-1-800 (2003-042-1-800) Source-Based Nomenclature of Single-strand Organic Polymers – JonesThe most significant sticking point with this project, how to refer to former monomer names in the context of the naming of traditional polymers, was satisfactorily resolved. It was recommended that a change of order of rules 1, 2, and 3 be implemented. This will be done by RGJ.

Appendix A would be formatted and structured by JV who would immediately seek the agreement of KHH. The document will then be circulated as a completed project for consideration by the TGMs and thereafter SPT before it is sent to Div. VIII for final consideration.Actions: RGJ, JV and KHH

1999-051-1-800 (2006-006-1-800) Source-Based Nomenclature for Modified Polymers –JonesTwo substantive issues were resolved: a change to the format of the document to excludestructure-based nomenclature on the basis of it being adequately covered by existing nomenclature rules; agreement to dispense with coverage of relevant generic nomenclature in this document.

It was further agreed that sensible simplification could be achieved by compounding some of the rules. The document should be finished by the end of December 2013. Action: RGJ

2001-081-1-800 Dendritic & Hyperbranched – FradetTGMs met but without the Chair present it was not expected that much could be achieved. However, changes that had been made by April were discussed, some inconsistences were found, and it was thus concluded that at least one further draft will be required before it could go to public review.

Through KHH’s, PK’s and JC’s participation, new methods of naming dendrimers were advanced that would likely be more acceptable. KHH will prepare an outline for AF. PK and JC will be party to the exchange and act as new TGMs.

It was hoped that a new draft could be ready by the end of 2013.Action: AF, KHH, PK, and JC

2011-035-1-800 Terminology & Nomenclature of Inorganic & Coordination Polymers –Jones

The TG comprises members from Divisions II, IV and VIII so RGJ and RCH were the only TGMs present. Owing to problems organising interdivisional TG meetings at the GA, nouseful meeting was possible.

The terminology section was essentially complete and the introduction to the document was progressing, however, development of the polymer-based nomenclature section


9

could not progress without input from Divs. II and VIII. RGJ will distribute a formatted manuscript before end-October to the TGMs to help facilitate this participation.Action: RGJ

2013-XXX-2-800 Nomenclature of star and brush polymers – ChenThe application had been submitted and received reviewers’ reports. These were analysed and changes made to the application which will be resubmitted. Most significantly, the TG was increased by four members, thereby gaining expertise and achieving a wider demographic/geographic spread. The TGMs are now: dos Santos; Fradet; Hellwich; Hiorns;Nakano; Purbrick; and Wilks.

JC will complete and resubmit the revised document immediately after returning home from the GA.Action: JC

2.6 Feasibility StudiesN.B. For a Feasibility Study (FS) to progress it is necessary to table a completed project application form, which is available on the IUPAC website at:http://www.iupac.org/home/projects/guidelines-for-iupac-projects/project-submission-form-and-guidelines.html

FS-18 Ultimate Mechanical Properties – HessThe project was accepted in principle many years ago by the former Commission. However, it did not advance due to the need for a member with engineering experience. This person was now present in SPT, namely RA, and with his participation MH could go ahead and prepare an application form for presentation at the next meeting.Action: MH

FS-23 Elastic Properties of Polymers – Hess & SteptoMH and RS hope to discuss this proposal in the coming year.Action: MH

FS-24 Constitutionally-dynamic polymers – VohlídalDiscussions in the “Self-assembly” project showed that this increasingly active area was not adequately covered. JV expected that it would be possible to prepare an application form, perhaps with Div. VIII participation, in time for the next meeting.Action: JV

FS-26 Modelling and Simulation of Polymers – MeilleSVM has not been able to pursue this possible project over the last year, but believes it to beviable; a first draft of the application form had been prepared and circulated about a year ago. The field is almost too broad, but is very active and would be a worthwhile project. One problem was finding working partnerships inside SPT; SVM cannot do this alone! NSexpressed interest. RGJ indicated that RS should be involved, along with NS, GR, and GA as a consultant. SVM will seek a member from the Physical Chemistry Division, and present a revised draft project application form at the next meeting.Action: SVM

FS-27 IUPAC Certification Standards for Polymer Science Journals (IQPAC) –Hiorns


10

RCH has not had a chance to work on this one. While a first draft application form has been prepared the objectives need clarification after consultation with members of the publishing community. It was reported that there have been similar suggestions coming from the Secretary General as a way of generating funds. RCH and RB agreed to discuss strategies in which this project could be pushed forward within SPT. Action: RCH and RB

New Feasibility StudiesRGJ asked for new ideas so that SPT might create projects that would attract funding and thereby allow us to continue to meet annually.

The following new ideas came forth!

FS-28 A Brief Guide to the Solid State Microstructure of Polymers – StingelinAction: NS

FS-29 A Brief Guide on Polymerizations – LuscombeWould be both terminology and some nomenclature, and might need a tie with education?Will still be in a 400 code if this has an Education link.Action: CKL

FS-30 A Short Guide to Electroactive Polymeric Materials – WalterThere is an enormous wealth of commercial and academic interest in this area.Action: MW

FS-31 A Concise Guide to Polymers in Tissue Engineering - PurbrickAn area that needs greater clarification in everyday use.Action: MP

FS-32 Collection of all Books - MormannTo collect all IUPAC publications together onto one single CD (or USB key) which could be easily distributed. This would not take money away from other projects. The product would be of particular use in countries where internet access is limited. Money would be required for screening. WM will generate an application in the coming year.Action: WM

FS-33 Polycondensation and polyaddition – MoadTo be considered at the next meeting.

2.7 Project Extensions

It was agreed that the following projects should seek extensions:2010-036-1-400 List of Keywords - Slomkowski2009-047-1-400 Stereochemical Aspects in Polymer Science - Hellwich & Moad 2006-028-1-400 Terminology for Conducting, Electro-active and Field-responsive

Polymers - Vohlídal

In addition, projects which should seek extensions from the special project fund, due to their exceptional impact, are:2011-013-2-400 Updating Wikipedia: Synchronizing Polymer Definitions and Terminology –

Hess

2007-008-1-400 Multilingual Encyclopedia - dos Santos

The latter should be considered as a new project, i.e., as a due to its on-going, rolling nature.

3. ANY OTHER BUSINESSBrief GuidesKHH noted that additional Brief Guides for Inorganic and Organic nomenclature were in their final steps. The former is under review, and copies can be obtained from KHH or RCH.

Spelling of Members’ namesPK noted that it was the responsibility of the secretary to ensure the correct spelling of members’ names on published documents.

New MembersProf. Rameshwar Adhikari, Dr. Ray Boucher, Dr. Malcolm Purbrick and Dr. Carmen Scholzwere welcomed as new members of SPT.

Ethylene versus ethane-1,2-diyl in structure-based nomenclatureA vote had been called. RGJ invited comments for and against from the TGMs of the “Preferred Names” project. Those outside this TG were requested to not comment.

WM spoke for the case for having ethylene as the preferred name, stating that it was the shortest, more legible, and most widely known.

KHH spoke the case for ethane-1,2-diyl in that it is the preferred name for organic nomenclature, thus making it consistent with the organic Blue Book, and it will be taught to students who will grow up with it, and with time it will become a familiar name.

JV also remarked that while ethylene is no doubt the preferred name, it is clear that from experience in teaching, it would be ethane-1,2-diyl that would be preferred.

The vote was confirmed as not being prescriptive; it is simply an expression of preference by SPT for application in the Preferred Names project.

The results of the vote were:those in favour of adopting ethylene as the preferred name: 16those in favour of ethane-1,2-diyl: 3abstentions: 3

Thus ethylene is the name preferred by SPT and ethane-1,2-diyl is the acceptable systematic alternative, both now being allowed in structure-based names.

2015 MeetingsKHH announced that the meeting for the 48th General Assembly on 6-13 August 2015 and 45th World Chemistry Congress on 9-15 August 2015 had been moved from Seoul, South Korea to Busan, South Korea.

Election for Chairperson of SPTThe election was led by MH. Six nominations for RCH were received. RCH was unanimously approved as chairperson (21 voted yes). The next secretary will be chosen by the chairperson.

Appendix 4: Rules of the Subcommittee on Polymer Terminology

1. The membership of the Subcommittee shall be decided by its Official Members and approved by the Polymer Division Committee. The Official Members are nominally those listed within the IUPAC Division IV webpages, but the official membership may be changed at any time with the agreement of the current Official Members.

2. Besides the Official Members, there are Consultants (former members who are still active), Correspondents (persons with only a loose connection with the Subcommittee), and Observers (persons who are invited by the Chairperson of the Subcommittee and approved by the Official Members of the Subcommittee).

3. No person shall be an Observer for more than two years but in the light of evidence of their contribution to the work of the Subcommittee they shall thereafter be invited to be Official Members.

4. The Subcommittee will usually meet annually (normally associated with an IUPAC General Assembly or a World Polymer Congress). Any Official Member who fails to attend two consecutive meetings of the Subcommittee and fails to make substantial written contributions to the work of the Subcommittee over the same period of time shall have their membership withdrawn.

5. No person shall remain an Official Member, Consultant or Correspondent of the Subcommittee who in the collective judgement of the Chairman, the Secretary, the Polymer Division President and Division Secretary have abused their membership and thereby their association with the Polymer Division.

6. The list of the Consultants, Correspondents and Observers will be reviewed annually by the Official Members. In addition, names can be added or removed at any time with the Subcommittee Chairperson’s approval.

7. Initiatives for polymer terminology and nomenclature projects or feasibility studies may be placed before the Subcommittee by any interested party.

New projects should normally be launched as feasibility studies approved by the Subcommittee. The acceptance of a project or a feasibility study will normally be decided upon by the approval of the majority of the Official Members present at the meeting where it is proposed and will be subject to the Subcommittee Chairperson’s approval.

8. Although in principle anybody can submit a project proposal directly to the IUPAC Secretariat, the agreed procedure for members of the Subcommittee is that a Project Submission Form is completed by the Task Group Leader of the proposed project and sent to the Subcommittee Chairperson who submits the form.

9. The names of the Task Group Leaders for official IUPAC recommendations and other projects are subject to the approval of the Subcommittee Chairperson and at least one Task Group Leader shall be an Official Member of the Subcommittee.

10. Provided they have relevant expertise, Membership of the task groups for official IUPAC recommendations and other projects is open to all Official Members, Consultants, Correspondents and Observers, subject to the approval of the Subcommittee Chairperson and the Task Group Leader.


19

Any member of a task group is free to propose additional, external members who could start as Observers or Correspondents with the approval of the Subcommittee Chairperson.

No Task Group Member should over commit through membership of too many Task Groups.

11. The budgets for individual projects will be made available by the Task Group Leaders for the use of the Subcommittee Chairperson to help attendance at the annual meetings of the Subcommittee.

12. The use of project budgets by Task Group Leaders for Task Group Meetings on individual projects shall be with the agreement of the Subcommittee Chairperson.

13. Task Group Leaders shall report progress to the annual meetings of the Subcommittee either in person or by asking another to represent them. It is expected that there should be clear evidence that they are driving their project(s) towards completion.

14. The authorship of a document prepared by a task group approved by the Subcommittee is decided by the Subcommittee Chairperson in consultation with the Task Group Leader(s). Membership of a task group does not automatically mean authorship.

Authors will normally be listed with the Task Group Leader(s) preceding the other authors and with Task Group Leader(s) and other authors being listed, respectively, in English alphabetical order. In the case of a dispute, the matter will be decided by a majority vote of the official subcommittee members present at the meeting at which the authorship is being decided.

15. Each official IUPAC recommendation prepared by the Subcommittee shall list the Official Members of the Subcommittee during the period of its preparation, as well as those consultants, correspondents and observers who, in the opinion of the Task Group Leader(s) and the Subcommittee Chairman, contributed significantly to the document. In the case of a dispute, the matter will be decided by a majority vote of the Official Members present at the meeting at which the names to be listed are being decided.

If the period of preparation of an official IUPAC recommendation started before 2002, when Commission IV.1 was in existence, the recommendation shall also list the Titular Members of the Commission during that period and list the Associate Members and others who, in the opinion of the Task Group Leader(s) and the Subcommittee Chairman, contributed significantly to the recommendation.

16. The publication of translations of official IUPAC recommendations by members of the Subcommittee have to be brought to the attention of the Chairperson and the Secretary of the Subcommittee and the IUPAC Secretariat (presently Fabienne Meyers). The translation should be identified as such and the original IUPAC cover page should precede the translation.

Appendix 6: Updating Wikipedia: detailed report on project 2011-013-2-400 “Wiki entries”

Detailed report on the project provided by MH

The project was started to implement IUPAC terminology (of existing, approved definitions) in Wikipedia entries, to explore the reaction of the Wiki-community, and to make IUPAC more prominent in Wikipedia as leading authority for scientifically reliable (and worldwide accepted) definitions. One important goal of the project was to identify a method that prevents unauthorized change of IUPAC-approved definitions.There are three situations to be discriminated:

Existing Wikipedia entries to be synchronized with IUPAC definitions Creation of new entries to Wikipedia basing on existing IUPAC definitions ‘Stubs’ in the field of polymers

An unobtrusive transclusion was designed in form of a window that contains the original IUPAC definition and that was inserted into existing Wikipedia pages. In contrast to the type of window that was created as a first example during the Roanoke Meeting 2012 the new one is a text window with a monochrome IUPAC label and not a picture-type structure as before. Pictures are sometimes difficult to handle for mobile devices. The coloured IUPAC label was taken as too much like an advertisement. The final method appears to be widely accepted by the Wiki-community and the following existing Wiki entries were modified accordingly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copolymerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorptionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogelhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anionic_addition_polymerizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_synthetic_polymershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_cementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_(polymer_chemistry)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cationic_polymerizationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-growth_polymerisationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_terminationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom-transfer_radical-polymerizationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodegradationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomineralizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioplastichttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloidhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloidal_crystalhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_polymerization

Three modifications were rejected:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant


23

The person who deleted said: “Revert addition of quote box that does not add value to the information in the article, but serves to add confusion by presenting different values for the same constant.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(chemistry)The person just removed it.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

- The person who deleted said: “This is not polymer science - this is physiology.”

Three new entries were created, namely:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible-deactivation_radical_polymerizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerative_chain_transferhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible-deactivation_polymerization

So, in general our approach to modify Wikipedia entries by just offering the IUPAC definition without trying to overrule Wikipedia appears to be accepted as a welcome improvement of Wikipedia by the community.Creating new Wikipedia entries basing on IUPAC definitions requires adapting to the Wikipedia customs, which means that there needs to be more than just the pure formal definition, information that also goes beyond what is delivered by the notes in IUPAC documents. Both, modifying existing Wikipedia entries and creating new entries from IUPAC documents have shown to be successful approaches to improve Wikipedia and at the same time to make IUPAC activities known to a broad audience by using Wikipedia as a ‘vehicle’. The major problem of an open system as Wikipedia is the fact that basically everybody can modify an existing text. The IUPAC definitions, however, must not be changed. Certain text, such as the IUPAC definition window can be protected by a ‘bot’. That is an automatic monitoring system that certifies a given text by a green indicator that changes within a few minutes to a red cross (with alarming the author) if it was changed. This clearly shows everybody that the information might have changed its status of reliability. Changes and any earlier versions are always accessible. That means for our project that the reliability of the IUPAC information (the originality) is always indicated and observed. Since only a fraction of the IUPAC definitions could be covered until now, the task group will apply for an extension of the project.There is an additional opportunity for IUPAC to become more present in the electronic world of information: Wikipedia has identified a number of terms the entries of which are too meager for a sufficient entry. These entries are termed ‘stubs’ and Wikipedia asks the community for help in expanding these entries. This offers a good opportunity to put forth the expertise of the SPT into Wikipedia, hence further improving the visibility of IUPAC in the electronic world of information.The WP will also insert an external link from all polymer-relevant Wikipedia entries to the Polymer Division’s Educational Website and the Short Guide to Nomenclature and Terminology as soon as the latter is available. Also, a Wikipedia entry of the IUPAC Polymer Division will be placed.The WP was strongly supported by a student of Natalie Stingelin and – most important – by Martin A. Walker, Department of Chemistry, SUNY College at Potsdam, Potsdam, NY 13676 USA
