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).
