Word of the Day: Agenda

Agenda [N.]

Definition:
A list of items to be discussed at a meeting.

There are many topics and subtopics to be discussed during a MUN conference. It is important to organize items into a list at the beginning. That is, we set the agenda for discussion on the issue. An agenda is not limited to usage of MUN. It is a must for meetings of any scope and background. A clear agenda helps people grasp the gist of what is about to be discussed and improves efficiency. Notice how we drew the agenda at the first slide in the powerpoint below:

WorldMUN2010, Taipei Intro (Mandarin Version)

Examples:
What's on the agenda?

I would like to put topic A first on the agenda.

An agenda should be set for all meetings and presentations.

I'm afraid there is a hidden agenda behind this new proposal.
