Indeed: in early 2004 Ada UK effectively stopped operations and transferred its membership application and renewal process to Ada- Europe.

Note that the UK is still represented in WG9, the ISO working group on Ada: see . But this obviously happens outside the context of a national Ada organization... Given all the Ada work going on in the UK, and the recent Ada conferences there in the past 3 years, it would be great if a few people would get together and recreate an Ada UK organization. Anyway, for now I can only strongly concur with Ludovic and encourage everyone in the UK who's interested in Ada-Europe's activities to apply for direct Ada-Europe membership. We're looking forward to many new members! Dirk Craeynest Ada-Europe vice-president
