Officially, it merged into Ada-Europe a few years ago. Its former
publication, "Ada User", eventually became Ada-Europe's quarterly "Ada
User Journal". So, if you are interested in the AUJ and the Ada 2005
Rationale, you can become a direct member of Ada-Europe.

(Personally, I think it is a shame that the UK, probably the European
country with the most Ada developers, now lacks a national
organisation and corresponding vote in ISO ballots.)
