Since July (2011), the main focus of The IPCR Initiative has been on compiling evidence and creating draft versions of a document to be titled “IPCR Critical Challenges Assessment 2011-2012”. There is an IPCR webpage for this project , which makes accessible draft versions of sections--and posts introducing those drafts--and that can be accessed by way of this link , or www.ipcri.net/Critical-Challenges-Assessment.html (both links go to the same IPCR webpage).
(Update: Focus is currently shifted to "IPCR Outreach 2012". Outreach documents reference an early version summary report of this "Critical Challenges" project. More information about "IPCR Outreach 2012" is at www.ipcri.net/IPCR-Outreach-2012.html .)
This writer hopes that visitors to this IPCR website who glance at the current Table of Contents for this project will agree that some very critical decisions will be made in the months and years ahead—and also agree that if they assist this project (or ones similar to this) with comments, suggestions, and recommendations, such assistance can help much with “reframing public discourse”.
Communities of people are encouraged by The IPCR Initiative to use IPCR resources to create their own critical challenges assessments, preliminary surveys, community visioning initiatives, “Community Teaching and Learning Centers”, etc—and, in other words, to adopt, change, and modify any IPCR resources without any need to make any attribution or reference to The IPCR Initiative (see link to complete “IPCR Resource Sharing Policy” below). There are “many danger signs flashing now”. By encouraging innovation and creativity in this way many different experiments can be made, and there will be more chances that many communities of people will arrive at many different kinds of successful model projects.
