the agenda.

Opening Speeches

After the topic to be discussed has been chosen, the opening speeches of all the delegations
present are read by means of a motion. The purpose of the opening speeches is to ascertain the
positions of the delegations on the topics under discussion. Delegates are called upon in
alphabetical order. Speeches should have a maximum duration of one minute and thirty
seconds, in case the delegate exceeds this time the table will be obliged to interrupt the delegate.
If the delegate has time to spare, he/she may:

Yield the time to the table

The time that the delegate has not used in his or her speech will be used at the discretion of the
table.

Give the time to the next delegate

Time not used by the delegate will be given to the next delegate. Time ceded to other delegates
is not cumulative. If the delegate to whom the time has been ceded the first time has time left
over from his or her own time, he or she may cede it to the next delegate, otherwise the table
will pass the time on to the next delegate.

Debate

delegates can discuss what solutions they want to apply to end the conflict or problem at hand.

Formal Debate or List of Speakers

floor, they can speak for a certain amount of time about their position on the issue and the
solutions they propose. The proposing delegate should state how long he/she recommends that
each delegation speak.

Informal Debate

committee. Delegates who wish to take the floor raise their placards and the table

debate should last. The debate time can be extended if a delegate requests it by motion.

write working papers. The delegate proposing the motion should state how long he or she
wishes the lobby time to last and briefly explain what will be done in that time.

Crisis

A fictitious event created by the crisis team and the table to generate controversy in the debate
that may affect the course of the committee. Once the committee enters a crisis, the doors are

the blocks that made each working paper to read their documents in front of the committee.
The reading of the documents is done by the countries that are the heads of the bloc. Voting
must always be done by roll call and will be approved by a simple majority. If only one
Working Paper is presented in a committee, the vote must also be taken. Once the voting
process begins, no one may enter or leave the room.

closed. This is the last motion made at the event, bringing full and final closure to the
committee's work.

Quorum

the total number of delegates is present. Two-thirds of the delegates are required for a vote to
be taken on a substantive matter. If a delegate feels that there is a shortage of delegates to

during the debate are presented. It must be drafted in a previously determined time and has a
minimum of two drafting countries, which deliver it to the president of the commission, who,
after reviewing it, authorizes its reading. It requires the signature of two thirds of the members

vote. The purpose of the debate in the commissions is to discuss and draft the Working Papers.
When a Working Paper is introduced in the commission, the chairmen recognize two countries
as the head of the bloc to read them. After this, it is recommended that motions be made to read
the amendments. If amendments are tabled in the Bureau, they are read and voted on
respectively, otherwise motions are entertained to initiate voting on the Working Paper. The
Working Papers must have a minimum of five (5) preambulatory sentences and seven (7)
resolutive sentences.
Preambulatory sentences must be written in italic font and must have a comma at the end of
the sentence.
Resolutive sentences must be numbered and must have a semicolon at the end of the sentence,

paper without a vote by the committee.

discussed and give the guidelines for what is to be solved. They also touch on points of
discussion and historical references to the issue, from when the conflict is present, what
actions have been taken, etc. Each sentence should be written with one of the words
shown at the end of this document. These sentences must, mandatorily meet the
following requirements:
a. As a minimum, the paper must have 5 sentences. In case of non-compliance
with this rule the paper will be boarded, i.e., it will not be taken into account at
all.
b. The introductory word, i.e. the first word of the sentence, must be underlined
and in italic.
4. When at least 5 sentences are completed, write "Resolutive Sentences" and start writing
the operative or resolutive sentences. As the name indicates, these sentences present the
solutions proposed by the group of countries writing the paper. If one of the solutions
needs specific funding, it should be named. These sentences also have to be written
with one word (per sentence) from those listed at the end and should follow this format:
a. They have to be numbered and in bold. Sentences must end in semicolons (;),
although the last sentence must end in a period (.).
b. At least each paper must have 7 operative sentences. Failure to comply with this
rule will result in the paper being boarded, i.e., it will not be taken into account
at all. Remember: Working papers must be written in groups, with their own
solutions. In case there are two identical papers and one of them has already
been voted on and accepted, the second paper may receive a motion to be tabled
for being the same or very similar to what has already passed.
