The current Ada standard is maintained by ISO WG9, with the technical work
being done by its Ada Rapporteur Group. The ARG is concerned with clarifying
the current standard and fixing any minor problems found, it is not concerned
with evolving the standard. No formal group that I know of is concerned with
the latter, and indeed I think any formalized discussions of changes to
Ada 95 would be premature and non-constructive.
Probably one of the most useful things at this stage would be for people to
prototype possible new language suggestions using GNAT.
