We now have an index for that purpose on Ada-Auth.org, the Ada 2005 AI version is found at: http://www.ada-auth.org/AI05-VOTING.HTML Unfortunately, for Ada 2012, a lot of design occurred in unofficial phone meetings. No minutes were produced for those meetings, and so far as I know the only existing material is the notes I have kept on my hard disk. If I ever get some time, I want to get a version of those on-line so this sort of research can work usefully for Ada 2012. (Ideally in the format that the indexing tool can pick up and put into those indexes.) Note that all three AI05-0153-x versions were involved, so it is useful to read all of them. (There also was some cross-AI discussions, which is probably beyond anyone's ability to find, at least for fun.) Randy. P.S. Noticed this when looking at the evolution of aspect specifications. In the material on-line, they essentially appear in a near final form. That's not how it was! "Matt Borchers" wrote in message news:d3f4e8ad-8d5b-49b2-939d-1d1c7938d554n@googlegroups.com...

This is going to take a while to get through and it is heavy reading. I had no idea this subject has been fermenting for 12+ years. However, in only the tiny portion I've read so far it seems a few commenters of high repute share some of my sentiments -- which only makes me 12 years late to the party of the losing side. :)
