l <br />Agenda Automation Questions <br />5) What would the default media be? <br />There are potentially different methods for creating and displaying agenda items, <br />depending on whether paper or digital display is considered. For example, digital <br />delivery allows for direct hyperlinking to historical minutes or video footage of <br />background material. Paper does not. Due to the inherent inefficiencies of authoring <br />two parallel versions of each abstract, it would be important to determine which <br />medium would be considered the default for authoring and delivery. <br />Please share your thoughts on your willingness to use the digital format as the default <br />target media, to leverage hyperlinking benefits, potentially at an inconvenience to <br />those relying on paper to access the information. <br />Default would be on line with hyperlinks if that is BOCC standard. I don't see why <br />this is a problem; the citation can be imbedded in a printed document without being <br />active as a link. We don't usually provide a full agenda to everyone attending a <br />meeting and could post the digital version on the Web site for all to access. This is yet <br />another case of making things seem more difficult and complex than necessary. <br />I would prefer having the digital media be the default because of the advantages of <br />creating the hyperlinks. <br />We should take full advantage of available technology.
