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).
