As a direct result of the Web, the majority of the reading public no longer get their news in dead tree form. Classified ads are gone. Demand for wood pulp is dramatically down over the past 20 years.
I did not bother to pick up a printed agenda this time as I can't read the print any more.

I am becoming convinced that the small pre-printed folded agendas are 
doing more harm than good.

We've become more dynamic with meeting scheduling - the pre-printed 
agendas are almost always incorrect at the start of the meeting.

We have much better online tools, including smartphone apps that provide 
better access to non-stale data.

We've found it easy to have printers on-site for anyone who really needs 
to print a copy (and can post instructions in an easy to find place on 
how to make that happen).

Therefore, I would propose that the secretariat be directed to not 
provide the folded agendas in Seoul, so that we eliminate the printing 
and shipping expense (and associated environmental impact).
