The standard for the Ada Programming Language (and a variety of related standards) are managed by ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG9 (http://wwwold.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG9/). Because these are ISO standards, WG9 has to follow the procedures for creating ISO standards. Most of the actual work of fixing and improving the language standard occurs in a subcommittee of WG9 known as the ARG (Ada Rappetour Group). The ARG membership includes a wide variety of Ada vendors and users. Pretty much all that is required to informally monitor the process is to join the Ada-Comment mailing list (see http://www.adaic.org/standards/articles/comment.html.) You can look into the ARG's web site at http://www.ada-auth.org/ais.html (although that site is designed to be functional, not to impress people with our process).
