France	Email from Jean-Pierre Rosen, 9 December 2002: The Ada group of AFNOR met 2002/12/04. Financing of the group is now granted; however the official restarting of the group was delayed due to administrative difficulties. Since AFNOR membership runs on a yearly basis, things should be settled by January 1st. Most of the meeting was devoted to preparing the WG9 meeting. [Convener: The remainder of the report from the French NB concerns the AIs proposed for approval by the ARG. It can be found following the report of the ARG Rapporteur.] Oral Report: As of this meeting, those administrative difficulties still exist; the group continues to work although officially the group will not resume until January 1st.
Italy	Email from Tullio Vardanega, 12 December 2002: Apologies Please, accept my apologies for not attending the meeting. (Which did not depend on not receiving WG9 communications for a while, but workload and funding constraints.) Report Activities since the last meeting followed three threads: Active involvement in the HRG, including participation in the October meeting at York. I find the report to have high quality and to be useful (both informative and propositive) to the general public. Listening mode on all ARG activities, with strong opinions only in AIs directly or indirectly related with the HRG domain of competence. As an aside, issue 23-4 of the Ada User Journal will feature a round-up of the AIs worked up by the ARG. My plan is to push a further couple of papers on specific AI highlights in volume 24 as well. Continued search for individuals and groups interested in resuming Ada Italy. There is encouraging interest for the circulation of information. Much less energy for forming a true formal body. [Convener: The remainder of the report from the Italian NB concerns the AIs proposed for approval by the ARG. It can be found following the report of the ARG Rapporteur.]
UK	Oral Report: It is pleasing to report that the BSI WG is more active than formerly. They seemed to relish working on the multiple editions of the instructions to the ARG since it focussed their minds on the important matters. The UK HOD also noted that it was interesting to hear Dr McKay's talk regarding those annexes of the RM concerned with real-time embedded applications.
USA	Oral Report: The US TAG is struggling with some of the financial and administrative requirements of the US National Body.

Resolution 38-4	ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 recommends to SC22 that the following Technical Report be withdrawn when it reaches the end of its five-year review period. The Technical Report is relevant to the 1987 version of the Ada language standard rather than the current version: ISO/IEC TR 11735:1996, EXTensions for real-time Ada For status, see [Project Editor Maintenance Report, 11735]
Action Item 39-5	(HRG Rapporteur): Draft a New Work Item Proposal for the Technical Report providing guidelines and rationale for the use of the Ravenscar profile. For status, see [Report of the Annex H Rapporteur Group]
Action Item 40-3	(ARG Rapporteur): Upon receipt of the UK recommendation, consider the packaging appropriate for the functionality of the current 13813. Status: CLOSED. Superseded by Resolution 42-7, listed below.
Resolution 40-6	ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 recommends to SC22 that the following Standard be confirmed when it reaches the end of its five-year review period: ISO/IEC 13813:1998 Generic packages of real and complex type declarations and basic operations for Ada (including vector and matrix types) ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 recommends to SC22 that the following Standard be withdrawn when it reaches the end of its five-year review period: ISO/IEC 13814:1998 Generic package of complex elementary functions for Ada For status, see: [Project Editor Maintenance Report, 13813]
Resolution 40-8	ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 requests that SC22 request JTC1 and any other appropriate bodies to take action to ensure that ISO/IEC TR 15942 be made freely available on a web site. For status, see [Project Editor Maintenance Report, 15942]
Action Item 42-1	(Convener) Send a note to Spain (possibly Alexandro Alonso) suggesting that Spain might consider participation in WG9. Status: CLOSED. The convener learned that Spain is not a member (neither "O" or "P") of SC22, hence ineligible for participation in WG9.
Action Item 42-2	(Convener) Send a note to Russia (possibly Sergey Rybin) suggesting that Russia might consider participation in WG9. Status: CLOSED. The convener sent a note to Sergey Rybin, inviting participation by Russia. Rybin was unable to promise participation by Russia.
Action Item 42-3	(Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Confer to develop a charter or other terms of reference defining the scope of work of the ASIS RG. For status, see [ Report of ASIS Rapporteur Group ]
Action Item 42-4	(Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Review ISO procedures for handling defects and develop an appropriate mechanism. Ensure that there are terms of reference for the ASIS RG. For status, see [ Report of ASIS Rapporteur Group ]
Action Item 42-5	(Convener): Receive a copy of the source files for 15942 and forward to HRG Rapporteur to ensure backup storage. Status: CLOSED. The Convener and the HRG Rapporteur now have copies of the source files.
Action Item 42-6	(Currie Colket and Erhard Ploedereder) In cooperation with SIGAda, develop a proposal for a light-weight method for maintaining Ada APIs and present it to WG9. For status, see [ Report of SIGAda Liaison Representative ]
Resolution 42-4	In accordance with 3.3.1.1 of the JTC1 Directives, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 confirms the Category C liaison request of Ada-Europe contained in N402 and forwards the request to SC22 for its consideration and any actions needed to effect approval of the liaison. Status: CLOSED. Liaison status has been granted.
Resolution 42-5	In accordance with 3.3.1.1 of the JTC1 Directives, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 confirms the Category C liaison request of ACM SIGAda contained in N407 and forwards the request to SC22 for its consideration and any actions needed to effect approval of the liaison. Status: CLOSED. Liaison status has been granted.
Resolution 42-7	WG9 receives N405, Recommendation on ISO/IEC 13813 from the UK, and N404, Project Editor's Proposal of a Revised ISO/IEC 13813. To consider the recommendations of the UK: The ARG is requested to prepare its recommendation regarding the appropriate packaging for the revised content of the standard. Alternatives to be considered include (but are not limited to) revision of ISO/IEC 13813, incorporation into an amended or revised ISO/IEC 8652, publication as a Technical Report, and publication external to ISO. The convener is directed to circulate email ballots in WG9 to consider and implement any recommendations of the ARG. For status, see [ Report of Ada Rapporteur Group ]

Background	WG9 N406: Procedures of the ARG WG9 N412: Instructions to the Ada Rapporteur Group from SC22/WG9 for Preparation of the Amendment to ISO/IEC 8652.
Open Items	Resolution 42-7 WG9 receives N405, Recommendation on ISO/IEC 13813 from the UK, and N404, Project Editor's Proposal of a Revised ISO/IEC 13813. To consider the recommendations of the UK: The ARG is requested to prepare its recommendation regarding the appropriate packaging for the revised content of the standard.

The convener is directed to circulate email ballots in WG9 to consider and implement any recommendations of the ARG. Status: OPEN.
Written Report	Email from Pascal Leroy, 6 December 2002: Because of funding issues, the Rapporteur won't be able to attend the December WG9 meeting. He expresses his deepest apologies. The ARG met in Vienna, Austria in June and in Bedford, MA in October. Most of the Vienna meeting was devoted to amendments, but during the Bedford meeting we focused our efforts on "normal" AIs, i.e. corrections to problems in the existing RM, as the queue of such AIs had been growing since the publication of the Corrigendum. Excellent progress was made during these meetings on a number of amendments on which the ARG has been working for many years. A number of these amendments are now ready for approval by WG9, and they represent significant new capabilities for various application domains. The exact list of AIs submitted to WG9 will be found below, but it's worth mentioning that important proposals such as handling of mutually dependent types, the Ravenscar profile, private with clauses and package Directory_Operations are now technically complete. Good progress has also been made on some more controversial and speculative amendments like multiple inheritance through the use of interfaces or support of assertions. The work done on normal AIs is certainly less spectacular and has more to do with routine maintenance of the language. One technical issue is worth noting, though: the ARG seems to be discovering a large number of problems due to the interaction between constrained access subtypes (an Ada 83 feature) and general access types (an Ada 95 feature). These problems represent serious language flaws and should be addressed by the revision. However it is unclear how this can be done compatibly. More technical work is needed, but the ARG may at some point in the future require guidance from WG9 on this safety vs. compatibility trade-off. The ARG received excellent input from the real-time and safety-critical community, notably through the participation of the Rapporteur of the HRG and through AIs submitted as a result of the last IRTAW workshop. This input should help address the needs of a community where Ada has traditionally had a strong presence. Before the Bedford meeting the ARG received the "Instructions to the ARG" document written by WG9, which gives guidelines regarding the revision of the language. While it is clear that this document contains language that is opened to some degree of interpretation (like "remedy shortcomings" or "judged to be acceptable") it was found useful in setting priorities, in eliminating or trimming proposals that were widely off the mark, or in evaluating potential incompatibilities. It is also hoped that these guidelines will help alleviate the concerns expressed by some vendors regarding the scope of the revision. The Rapporteur proposes that WG9 appoint the following people as members of the ARG: Baird, Baker, Barnes, Brosgol, Brukardt, Burns, Dewar, Dismukes, Duff, Gargaro, Ishihata, Leroy, Michell, Ploedereder, Rosen, Taft, Tokar. The ARG has its "usual" motion for the December meeting for approval of a series of AIs. A pointer to retrieve the AIs is included. The Rapporteur would like to make it clear that he views approval of amendment AIs by WG9 as a recognition that the AIs in question are technically sound and complete. Whether each amendment AI will ultimately be part of the Amendment Document will have to be the subject of another vote later in the process, as issues such as the scope of the revision or the interactions between various AIs will have to be considered from a global perspective.

Written comments from France	Email from Jean-Pierre Rosen, 9 December 2002: The following AIs raised issues [in the AFNOR meeting]: AI243 [Normal]: YES with comment typo: package [body] Sep is separate; AI248 [Amendment]: YES with comment AFNOR agrees with the proposed package. However, it is possible that other packages similarly linked to common OS operations may appear in the future. As a consequence, it is understood that this package may become a part of a more general units tree, rather than a direct child of Ada. AI249 [Amendment]: YES with comment It would be useful for a pragma Profile to be allowed as a program unit pragma as well as a configuration pragma. This would allow reusable components to be checked for profile conformance, even if used in a non-restricted environment. AI284 [Amendment]: NO. AFNOR does not agree with the notion of non-reserved keywords for the following reasons: It appears clearly as an "ad hoc" dirty solution, inconsistent with the rest of the language. No other modern programming language has non-reserved keywords. From a pedagogical point of view, it breaks the general elegance of the language design and seems hard to justify. Industrial users did not express too much concern about the non-portability introduced by new reserved keywords. The reason is that a compiler is normally not changed in the middle of a project. Only project that undergo very substantial changes, or suffer rehosting or retargetting, could be candidates to migrating from an Ada95 to an Ada0Y compiler. In such cases, the effort due to the new keywords would be very small compared to other necessary modifications. A vendor expressed some concern however that any kind of incompatibility would not be acceptable to their clients. The group felt that this would be a new concept, and that any new concept adds to the complexity of the language, for users and for compiler makers. Replacing newly introduced keywords in existing programs is an easy task that can be performed by (existing) tools. AI 305 [Amendment]: YES with comment AFNOR approves the AI. However, it seems that the pragma Detect_Blocking raises more issues and is more difficult to implement than the various restrictions. Moreover, it seems that thers is still some work on this pragma being done by the HRG. AFNOR suggests splitting this AI to separate the pragma from the restrictions.
Written Comments from Italy	Email from Tullio Vardanega, 12 December 2002 As for specific AIs tabled by the ARG at the meeting, I do not feel like expressing any specific WG9-level positions, feeling instead fully represented by the position voiced by the HRG chair (both from the HRG and the IRTAW community standpoint) in the ARG-level discussion.
Discussion	There was discussion of the safety versus compatibility trade-off mentioned by the Rapporteur in his report. WG9 noted that a decision may be required early in the revision process, but that it currently lacks the knowledge necessary to provide appropriate guidance. Action Item 43-1: (Convener) Forward a request to the ARG that it prepare a description of technical alternatives addressing the interaction of constrained access subtype and general access types. It is requested that the description include a discussion of tradeoffs among the proposed solutions. It is requested that this description be provided for the June 2003 meeting of WG9. There was a discussion of France's comments on the AIs. AFNOR’s meetings are usually held soon before WG9’s meetings. All AFNOR people don’t look at all AIs. By the time of their meeting, ARG has already made decisions on these AIs and thus AFNOR’s comments can only be brought before WG9. This is seen as an unfortunate timing of AFNOR and WG9 meetings. During discussion, AI217 and AI284 were deleted from the resolution. In the case of 217, there was consensus that the Workshop at the SIGAda conference had produced new ideas that should be considered. John Barnes volunteered to present these new ideas to the ARG. In the case of 284, many members of WG9 expressed reservations regarding where the concept of non-reserved keywords might lead. Several of them mentioned that making new reserved keywords is not such a bad thing. The overall consensus is that WG9 would like a more complete list of keywords proposed for non-reserved status before making a decision on the subject of whether a non-reserved status should be permitted. A final line was added to the resolution stating that France's comments on 243 and 248 will be transmitted to the ARG for their consideration. In the case of 243, the comment is submitted as a contribution to the normal process of editorial correction prior to publication. In the case of 248, approval of the AI means that WG9 determines that it is "technically sound and complete," the criterion suggested by the ARG's report. France's comment was judged to fall within the bounds of what the report called "the scope of the revision or the interactions between various AIs". WG9 judged that France's comment on AI249 was a request for new functionality and suggested that France should write a separate AI on the subject. After discussion, France withdrew its comment on AI305.
Resolutions	[ Resolution 43-5 ]

Open Items	Action Item 42-3 (Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Confer to develop a charter or other terms of reference defining the scope of work of the ASIS RG. Status: CLOSED. A charter has been drafted and is offered below for approval by WG9. Action Item 42-4 (Convener and ASIS RG Rapporteur): Review ISO procedures for handling defects and develop an appropriate mechanism. Ensure that there are terms of reference for the ASIS RG. Status: OPEN. Convener and Rapporteur will continue to work on this item.
Prior Discussion	From Minutes of Meeting #41 [N400]: Currie Colket mentioned that the ASIS RG is revising its charter. The convener noted that charter revisions must be approved by WG9. ASIS RG is considering the preparation of a New Work Item Proposal to revise and extend ASIS to keep pace with Ada 2005. The ASIS RG may reconsider some of the design goals for the specification. From Minutes of Meeting #42 [N409r]: Currie Colket reported that the ASIS RG has begun planning for the development of amendments to the ASIS standard in coordination with the planned amendment to the Ada standard. Steve Blake cannot continue as project editor; however, he has agreed to continue serving until a replacement is found. There was discussion that, aside from the NP for the ASIS standard, the ASIS RG lacks any formal terms of reference to define the scope of its work.
Report	Currie reported that the ASIS Working Group of SIGAda submitted suggestions for the development of procedures to be used by the ASIS RG. Procedures will be very similar to those of the ARG.
Discussion	Convener and Rapporteur developed the ASIS RG Charter by examining the ARG Charter and the ASIS NWIP. Insert "for example" near bottom before the references to SIGAda and Ada-Europe.
Resolutions	[ Resolution 43-3 ]

Background	WG9 N416, Charter of the HRG
Open Items	Action Item 39-5: (HRG Rapporteur): Draft a New Work Item Proposal for the Technical Report providing guidelines and rationale for the use of the Ravenscar profile. Status: OPEN. A draft of the report has been created. Further action awaits approval of the AIs related to the Ravenscar profile. When that is completed, the report will be published as a University of York report and contributed to WG9 along with a New Work Item Proposal for a Type 3 Technical Report.
Prior Discussion	From Minutes of Meeting #40, [N389]: The HRG ... discussed the continuing role of Annex H of ISO/IEC 8652. They discussed the desirability of changing its title to High-Integrity rather than Safety and Security. The HRG might recommend that the fourth section of Annex H should be reworked to better fit with the recently completed TR 15942. They also considered tracking the usage of relevant pragmas implemented by various vendors. It is understood that the HRG may work with the University of York or other institutions in obtaining material that might be incorporated into a Technical Report. From Minutes of Meeting #41 [N400]: The HRG has produced an initial 35-page draft of a TR providing guidance on usage of the Ravenscar profile. At yesterday's meeting, they confirmed the structure and the style of the guide. By the next meeting of WG9, they will produce a substantially completed draft. They meeting also reviewed the contents of Annex H of ISO/IEC 8652:1995. The International Real-time Ada Workshop (IRTAW) will look at real-time issues during its meeting in April 2002. Alan mentioned that there were no plans to revise TR 15942. From Minutes of Meeting #42 [N409r]: Alan reported that there has been no formal meeting of the HRG since the last meeting of WG9. Progress has been made via email communication and a meeting in planned in Autumn 2002. The HRG continues to work with the ARG in developing exact text for the amendment to describe the incorporation of the Ravenscar profile. Work on the guidelines document is progressing. It is anticipated that the guidelines will first be published by the University of York and then contributed to WG9. There was a discussion regarding the "Free Availability" of Technical Reports. It was asked, on the one hand, why so many reports are available and, on the other hand, why it is so tedious to get permission to make 15942 available. The Convener responded that the initial implementation of free availability explicitly provided for a large backlog. However, new ones still go through formal JTC1 and IEC procedures. There was a discussion of price of standards in France and USA. No resolution of the matter, except to track it for now.
Written Report	Email from Alan Burns, 28 November 2002: There will not be an HRG meeting collocated with WG9. I will not be attending WG9; my apologies. HRG met in October and finalized the Ravenscar Guide. We await WG9 acceptance of Ravenscar AIs to complete our Guide. This will then be published as a University of York report and offered to WG9 as a Technical Report.
Discussion	The procedure for treating the NWIP will be to attach the draft report to the NWIP and ask for immediate PDTR Registration.

Background	SIGAda is a Category C Liaison to WG9 [See N414]
Open Items	Action Item 42-6 (Currie Colket and Erhard Ploedereder) In cooperation with SIGAda, develop a proposal for a light-weight method for maintaining Ada APIs and present it to WG9. Status: OPEN.
Report	ACM SIGAda appreciates its approval as a Category C liaison.
Discussion	In response to Action Item 42-6, Clyde Roby made a presentation on a method to deal with APIs. Clyde's presentation will be posted on the WG9 web site as N419. There were some comments regarding the assurance that SIGAda has the proper rights to republish the artifacts. Erhard noted that an API may be an Ada binding to an implementation in another language or a standalone Ada implementation. Jim noted that "Stamp of Approval" concept might lead to anti-trust problems. "Choosing or Judging" would be an antitrust problem. This should be done under WG9 auspices. Erhard noted that there should be a long-term program to collect APIs; and a short-term program to select some APIs into Ada 200Y. Make sure that this is clear to participants. Only a few will be selected for the Ada Amendment. This presentation served to close Action Item 42-6.
