There are many places in Global Link that refer to an IOC which stands for International Olympic Code. In addition, a partner country refers to any of the individual countries within the AFS International Network. AFS-USA is also involved in sending to and hosting from countries that are not AFS partners through special programs like the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program.
