The IPD meeting was based on the premise that to evaluate alternative frameworks it is important to fully understand the underlying micro incentives of the groups involved. The goal of the meeting was to set up a framework to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the proposals, and determine which are feasible in the short and medium term and which are consistent with models of economic behavior.
