Also, and absolutely without ignoring smartphones, what I have used
the mini-agenda for is above all the room plan.

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).
