Established in 1999, this board remains open in support of current and former members of SGI-USA as a tool of understanding. The original mission has long been completed for the founders. Ironically, SGI-USA denied all efforts to engage in dialogue toward change. We respect their right of choice. By using the Advanced Search, browsers will see a great diversity of opinion and are welcome to dialogue. Be sure to visit the link to Nichirens Coffee House.

Our Mission Statement WAS:
We, as members of the SGI-USA, have formed this Independent Reassessment Group because we believe that there is a need for reformation of aspects of our American organization which will enable it to better support the practice and study of Nichiren Daishonin's teachings and promote the spread of this philosophy in the United States. We will offer positive steps toward the goal of assisting the SGI-USA in returning to its primary mission: becoming an organization which is responsive to, and attractive to, an American membership. We hope to foster reasonable discussion and debate about these issues, which will be made accessible to all members, both those active in our organization and those who are not currently involved, and we will make every effort to promote their implementation. We want our organization to become a dynamic force for expansion of the kosen-rufu movement in America by developing a program for steady and sustainable growth.
