iYooq

In the Gitxsan language, the word “Ayook (pronounced ‘eye-yoke’)” means, “law, order, etc.”. The work of all First Nations leaders is to establish relevant laws, policies and procedures by and for their people as they work towards their goals.  For this reason, I have adopted the word, “iyooq” for this cloud-based, meetings-management process.
