Membership<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><br \/>\nAll European crystallographers interested in the structural properties of matter under extreme conditions are encouraged to join the CEC SIG. Those not living or working in one of the ECA Member Countries have to register as IM&#8217;s of the ECA.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"><br \/>\n<b>4. Organization<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\n<\/span>The activities of CEC will be organized by its Steering Committee, consisting of 10-15 members (including Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary). The election procedure for the Steering Committee and the maximum period for its membership will be established during the start-up period of CEC, which will cover three years. During the start up period the Steering Committee will initially consist of the Promoters and a Vice-chair and Secretary who will be nominated from the Founding members.<br \/>\nThe first meeting of the active group of founding members has been successfully held in Nancy.
