Jan 17, 2015 at 8:32 comment added Alain Valette This is a wide open question. I personally believe that, for $G$ discrete, the question is intractable, because a description of $I(G)$ is very much related to a description of the dual $\hat{G}$. As an example, consider a residually finite group with property (T). It is known that each finite-dimensional rep is isolated in $\hat{G}$, so defines a direct summand of $C^*(G)$ isomorphic to a matrix algebra. So $I(G)$ contains a huge direct sum of matrix algebras, and probably lots of other stuff too.
