The Independent Reassessment Group (IRG) was, a
group of concerned and committed SGI-USA members (past and present).
It never was an officially positively sanctioned SGI- USA group.
The people who formed it wanted to reform the Gakkai, and that
is all they wanted to do. They never were intending to form another
group. Never were intending to be "disloyal" nor anything
but what would be called in the Anglo-American Tradition a "Loyal
Opposition." They did want to see the SGI-USA reform. http://www.geocities.com/chris_holte/Buddhism/IssuesInBuddhism/IRGissues.html

does not necessarily mean they are a destructive mind control cult.
They appear because we have received inquiries and have established
a file on the group.
