Let's have an active inquiry into how we can increase the effectiveness of this "movement" by articulating principles and developing mental models that will guide our relationships as we organize into self-reflective structures (aka "organizations.)
Paul Hawken has said in "Blessed Unrest" that there are key features of the emerging civil society "movement" that make it utterly different from previous movements. And that the "principles" by which we will become aware of ourselves as organized and coordinated will be different from the principles of the hierarchical organizations that have dominated industrial society.

Here are some key questions to explore below:
- What are these new principles?
- How can we envision these as new models?
- How do we employ them?
- What principles apply within the organizations that make up this network, and which are principles for connecting these oganizations into larger wholes?
- Resilience
- Community (not privilege)
- Inclusivity
