[Board] How about freezing agendas 1 week prior to the meeting?

[Sanghee Shin]

I think 2 different issues are mixed here. 

1. Some important items/agendas handed over to new board members who don’t know much about those.  

2. For the future meeting, how to improve the meeting efficiency.

Regards,
