There is remarably little dissention. All the major ID "theorists" are at the Discovery Institute. Here is what they say about intelligent design, straight from the horse's mouth:
Questions about Intelligent Design
1. What is the theory of intelligent design?
The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
2. Is intelligent design theory incompatible with evolution?
It depends on what one means by the word "evolution." If one simply means "change over time," or even that living things are related by common ancestry, then there is no inherent conflict between evolutionary theory and intelligent design theory. However, the dominant theory of evolution today is neo-Darwinism, which contends that evolution is driven by natural selection acting on random mutations, an unpredictable and purposeless process that "has no discernable direction or goal, including survival of a species." (NABT Statement on Teaching Evolution). It is this specific claim made by neo-Darwinism that intelligent design theory directly challenges.

Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools- Philip Johnson.
Where does a criticism of the current state of evolution theory end, and intelligent design theory commence? Let the games begin. It does not bother me. I find it stimulating. You may find ID kooksville. I find that contention overstated, without considerable qualification. I simply don't find those who indulge a leap of faith kooks. We all do it, whether we be secular or otherwise.
