This report covers the period July 1, 1996 (the closing date of the reports in the IAU Trans. 23A) through August 31, 1999. Since the reports of Commissions 27 and 42 that follow highlight the research made in the triennium, we limit ourselves here to organizational activities of the Division. The first three sections are devoted to the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS), the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars (IBVS), and the Archives of Unpublished Observations of Variable Stars, the important projects that serve us all. I am indebted to the authors, listed in the sections headings, for providing these summaries. The problems of naming and classifying variable stars, implicit in Sect. 2, are taken up in Sect. 5. The last section lists meetings sponsored by the Division.
