Abstract
After ten years of running, the PHENIX Collaboration is starting to lay out the compelling physics that RHIC, as the most versatile hadron collider in the world, will be well positioned to explore beyond the program planned for upgrades already in progress. As the fields that RHIC set out to investigate have advanced and evolved, new questions and directions have arisen at the frontiers of QCD, and we have exciting opportunities before us to continue to confront the challenges and surprises of strong interactions into the next decade. The latest thoughts of the PHENIX Collaboration on this ongoing planning process for the future of RHIC are discussed.
