The Ife Ooye North America (IONA) is an international, Ife indigene membership, not-for-profit organization, founded in 2018. IONA standards are driven by its members.
Our members include local, regional and national, as well as Canada Ife Ooye organizations.
IONA's one organization- one vote policy ensures that every local member organization- specification adoption is the starting point rather than the end of the process. This guarantees that all OMG specifications are immediately useable. Furthermore, we do not just focus on the specification itself- we focus on the whole product: with corresponding seminars, workshops, certification, books and more! Many OMG specifications have also been adopted in their entirety by ISO as ISO standards.
IONA shall host four meetings throughout the year. These meetings give IONA members and nonmembers the opportunity to collaborate in a centralized location, learn about Ife at tutorials, and attend special information day events on current trending hot topics. While technical meetings provide a centralized location for Task Forces and Working Groups to work together, they are merely checkpoints with the bulk of the work between members taking place electronically via email, teleconferences, and on wikis.
In addition to our meetings, IONA acts as event producer for conferences and workshops for its members around the the North America.
IONA maintains liaison relationships with other Ife organizations including around world.
