John Barnes is working on the 9X Rationale these days,
with help from other members of the Mapping/Revision Team.  
Some version of the rationale will accompany the documents
circulated for ANSI Canvass/ISO balloting.

Several video tapes will be produced, some (short) "glossy" ones
for CEOs, CIOs, chief technical officers, etc., and some (longer) 
"pragmatic" ones for programmers, both Ada 83 and C/C++ types.
These will probably not be ready until after the balloting
process is nearly complete.
