Body of Knowledge (BoK): co-creation of the integral excellence movement.

Mike Pupius and Everard van Kemenade from the ETAG Board have taken the lead in writing an article on this as a Body of Knowledge for the work in the working groups.

Furthermore it has been decided to add practical tools to the web site.

We work in small groups mostly at writing the BoK.
