ECMAScript Next refers to new features of the ECMA-262 standard (commonly referred to as JavaScript) introduced after ECMAScript 2015. New versions of ECMAScript specifications are released yearly. This year, the ES2016 specification will be released and the ES2017 is the current ECMAScript draft specification.
You can see the latest proposals on the tc39/ecma262 GitHub repository.
A channel for feedback on ECMAScript standards is es-discuss.
