IAF Platforms
The IAF members can also be, on voluntarily ground, part of continental platforms. These platforms are initially IAF Working Groups, but can evolve into continental federations. The aims of these platforms are to assist each other with the IAF in the process of creating National umbrella organization, to assist each other to obtain national recognition, and/or to organize Aikido events, as a event by itself or as part of a Budo event or a Continental Sports event.
