What is The Institute of Reasonable People?

Have you heard of those legal cases where the question is raised, "What would a reasonable person do in that situation", and of course the defendant failed to do what a reasonable person would have and therefore was judged guilty.
Well, it was the question "How would a reasonable person define the term 'reasonable person'?" which made me realise the world needs an organisation to set the standard for "reasonable person"-ness.

So, welcome to The Institute of Reasonable People.

This is a fairly new Institute, though it is an idea I've been kicking around for a couple of years. To the best of my knowledge there is no other equivalent organisation out there.

Goals:
To define "reasonable person".
To find and gather members who are willing to work toward becoming Certified Practicing Reasonable People.
To become a world leader in providing "Reasonable Person" judgements.
