Formal Debate: During formal debate, the staff maintains a speakers list and delegates speak in the order they are listed. At this time, delegates have an opportunity to share their views with the entire committee. Delegates make speeches, answer questions, and introduce and debate resolutions and amendments. Formal debate is important to the committee's work. By not knowing the rules of procedure, delegates slow down the debate and hold back their committee's progress. #LondonMetMUN @LondonMetMUN londonmetmun@gmail.com www.londonmetmun.com 2 Moderated Caucus: During a caucus, which is a temporary recess, the rules of procedure are suspended. To go to a moderated caucus, a delegate makes a motion to suspend debate and the committee votes. Caucusing helps to facilitate discussion, especially when there is a long speakers list. A moderated caucus is a mixture of both formal and informal debate. Anyone may speak if they raise their placard and are called on by the Chair. Unmoderated Caucus: In an unmoderated caucus, delegates meet informally with one another and the committee staff to discuss and negotiate draft resolutions, amendments and other issues. DELEGATE WISHES TO SPEAK: Raise the placard. Start your speech ‘Honourable Chairs and Distinguish Delegates, …..’ Seconds: Vocal expressions of support, from one or more delegates, in favour of another delegate’s motion. Only some motions require seconds. An objection is the reverse. Yield: The act of one delegate giving their remaining speaking time up for points of information, or to another delegate, or back to the committee Directors. ‘I yield my time back to the chair’ (To give up time, usually to questions or another delegate). Sponsors - Countries that are the principal authors of Model UN resolutions. Veto - The vested power of the “P5” (permanent 5) countries to refuse approval of a draft resolution. Signatories 6. Countries that would like to see a certain draft resolution debated. Present and voting 7. When a delegate is present and wishes to vote. Quorum - The number of members that must be present before official business can be conducted. Resolution - The final results of discussion, writing and negotiation, including suggestions for addressing a specific problem or issue.
