BOX.COM
INTRODUCTION
At its 188th
meeting in April 2011, the WMA Council expressed its desire to reduce its
environmental impact by going paperless. Since the 189th
Council meeting, documents posted
on the website before the meeting have no longer been provided at the venue in print.
Since 2014, the Secretariat introduced box.com at the 197th Council meeting as a parallel
sharing and synchronizing tool for official WMA documents. And in October 2016, the WMA
General Assembly in Taipei decided to introduce entirely paperless meetings provided a
suitable WiFi connection is available.
The WMA meeting documents are stored and shared in box.com platform through the
members area of the WMA website.
