- Generate a picture of a future Oxford with an expectation that fossil fuel use will be drastically curtailed. Produce a ‘Pathways Plan’ to inform current and near-future decisions.
- Focus solely on the chapter issue, but identify where proposals will impact on other issues, and where other issues will impact on this one.
- Geography: focus on Oxford City administrative boundary – zoom in or out as appropriate as this may depend on the issue.
- Time horizon – authors/groups for chapters to justify their chosen time horizon. 2020 and 2050 both obvious ones.
- Draft chapters by summer 2009 for integration process (links between issues); assess & produce in November.
- Consider all groups and individuals with interest and experience in this subject, and invite their input/feedback.
- Accept criticism of contributions, editing & development of any text.
- Welcome controversy and manage it constructively.
- TOPlan Coordinating group will refine guidelines as experience shows this is required, and offer support where requested and able.
- Maintain a record of contributors and consultees.
- We envisage the outcome to be published online.
- We want the outcome to be ‘tiered’ – each Chapter to consist of no more than five pages, easily summarised onto a single page, with an unlimited number of links to supporting papers, notes, references and submissions.
- Consider the implications of possible alternatives (not necessarily attractive ones) indicated in the 'Scenarios' section.
