quality

As a founding participant (1990) in the worldwide network of rural exchanges yearly conference, lRE is committed to assuring the "quality of service" provided by our type of program. As a way of ensuring this, we fully endorse the Code of Practice or Principals & Criteria now being developed.
While already meeting many of these standards, IRE is actively working to further lift the "quality of experience" gained by people using what we work to provide. While probably being too long & detailed to interest many users of our service, we display this here simply to note the type of philosophy behind our organization.
