IPA

The IPA or issue/position/argument or issue/policy/argument format is the minimal subset of TIPAESA form to be used when:

• there is no deadline or time horizon applying, e.g. the issues aren't on a meeting agenda for resolution any time soon, or may not be amenable to any single decision
• the arguments are loose and not well stated enough to have specific evidence attached, or the relevance of the evidence has yet to be established, or no authority exists to 'admit' it
• no one has expressed any concerns about the source or authority behind the evidence

If people begin to dispute evidence, or if the issue must be resolved decisively by a certain time or deadline, or before some other event can happen, then the IPA form is easy to expand to TIPAESA form.

IPA form is used on many political wikis to accomodate multiple point of view.
