This point is used when a delegate experiences personal discomfort or inconvenience that hinders their ability to participate in committee. This is the only point which delegates can raise while another delegate has the floor in committee. Eg. Point of Personal Privilege, could the delegate please speak louder? Point of Personal Privilege, could the delegate please repeat their point about XYZ? Point of Personal Privilege, could we reduce the temperature of the air conditioner?

This point is used when a delegate needs clarification or has a question about committee procedure in an MUN. This point addresses the Executive Board and is generally not marked. There is no loss of marks when a delegate has a doubt regarding procedure, and thus are encouraged to do so to participate better during committee. Eg. Point of Parliamentary Inquiry, what is the procedure for yielding to another delegate? Point of Parliamentary Inquiry, how does one raise a motion for a moderated caucus?

This point is used when a delegate wishes to ask another delegate a question after they complete their speech or during any point in committee. However, verbal Points of Information will only be entertained during formal debate if the delegate yields to POIs. If a delegate wishes to ask a POI after a moderated caucus speech, they may do so through a chit via the Executive Board. This point is marked. The ability of a delegate to field and ask POIs is judged during committee, and thus delegates are encouraged to do so often.

This point is used when another delegate’s statement contains a factual inaccuracy or if there is a procedural error by the Executive Board during the committee. Points of Order may or may not be marked, depending on how useful the statement was in pointing out inaccuracies.

This motion is raised to commence debate in the committee. It is raised at the beginning of the first committee session on the first day of the conference. To raise a motion, for example, say: “The Delegate of the Russian Federation would like to raise a motion to open debate.”

This motion is raised when a delegate would like to open the General Speakers List, and hence commence formal debate. The total time need not be specified, as the GSL is inexhaustible and is reverted back to in case all motions fail to pass in committee. How to raise the motion: “The Delegate of the United States of America would like to raise a motion to enter formal debate and open the General Speaker’s List”

This motion is used when the committee wants to discuss specific subtopics of the agenda. While raising this motion, the topic, total time, and individual speaker's time must be mentioned. It is important to note that the total time of a moderated caucus must be divisible by the per speakers time so as to incorporate a whole number of speakers before the moderated caucus elapses. The maximum total time it can be raised for is 20 minutes. How to raise the motion: “The Delegate of the French Republic would like to raise a motion for a moderated caucus on the topic ‘XYZ’ for the total time being 15 minutes and individual speaker’s time being 60 seconds”

During the first few committee sessions, unmoderated caucuses are used to build blocs, converse with other delegates, and discuss potential moderated caucus topics, while in the last few committee sessions they are primarily used for completing documentation. Just like moderated caucuses, the maximum time an unmoderated caucus can be raised for is 20 minutes. However, unmoderated caucuses do not have a topic or an individual speaker’s time. How to raise the motion: “The delegate of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela would like to raise a motion for an unmoderated caucus for the total time of 10 minutes"

This motion is used to extend a moderated or unmoderated caucus. It must be kept in that they can only be extended by half of the original time they were raised for. If an unmoderated caucus was originally raised for 10 minutes, then for an extension, the motion would be raised by stating: “The delegate of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay would like to raise a motion to extend the unmoderated caucus of total time of 5 minutes”

The motion to open a PSL is generally used for debate when the committee is in crisis or to discuss documentation. Whilst raising this motion, delegates need to specify the topic, the total time, and the individual speaker's time. How to raise the motion: “The delegate of the Republic of Peru would like to raise a motion to open a Provisional Speakers' List on the topic 'ABC' for the total time being 10 minutes and the individual speaker's time being 60 seconds"

This motion is raised to introduce documentation to the committee, which is a prerequisite for the document to be discussed. The name of the draft resolution or working paper is to be specified while introducing the document to the committee. How to raise the motion: “The delegate of the Dominion of Canada would like to raise a motion to introduce Draft Resolution 1.0 to committee"

This motion is used to discuss a Working Paper or Draft Resolution. Delegates may point out loopholes, suggest modifications, and bring up features they feel are relevant while discussing a document to make it more comprehensive, effective, and implementable. The authors for a working paper and the sponsors for a draft resolution are answerable to the committee regarding the content of their documentation. When raising this motion, the delegates are required to mention how they want the documentation to be discussed. Documentation is primarily discussed via the following methods: ➢ A clause-by-clause discussion is when each and every clause of the document is discussed thoroughly. Delegates can question the authors or sponsors of the document after every clause ➢ A moderated caucus discussion enables the delegates to raise concerns and question the authors or sponsors of the document in their speeches. There is no direct question and answer session in this form of discussion ➢ A provisional speakers list allows delegates to talk about the document in their speeches and if they have time left, they may yield it. How to raise the motion: "The delegate of Jamaica would like to raise a motion to discuss Draft Resolution 1.0 through a moderated caucus with total time 15 minutes and individual speaker's time 90 seconds"

After the discussion of a draft resolution, delegates may choose to move into amendment procedure to suggest addition, modification, or deletion of clauses. They can suggest changes by sending amendment chits to the Executive Board. When the amendments are introduced, the sponsors of the draft resolution may deem them friendly or unfriendly by consensus. (i) A friendly amendment does not need to be voted upon and is directly incorporated into the resolution (ii) An unfriendly amendment has to be voted upon and needs to obtain the votes a special majority of at least 2/3rds of the strength of the committee to be incorporated into the draft resolution Delegates are to note that there is no amendment procedure for working papers. How to raise the motion: "The delegate of Belize would like to raise a motion to move into amendment procedure for Draft Resolution 2.0"

This motion is raised to move into the voting procedure for a draft resolution. A draft resolution requires a special majority comprising 2/3rds of the committee strength in order to pass. Once a draft resolution passes, it is adopted and is considered the final document of the committee representing the conclusion it has come to. It is important to note that once a draft resolution passes, voting will not be conducted for any other resolutions. The voting for a resolution is done through a roll call vote. In a roll call vote, the Executive Board calls out the names of the countries/portfolios present in the committee in alphabetical order and the delegates may respond with yes, no, abstain, yes with rights, or no with rights. (i) Delegates may respond with a yes to vote in favour of the draft resolution (or Final Act, in this case), (ii) Delegates may respond with a no to vote against the draft resolution, (iii) Delegates may respond with an abstain if they wish to neither vote in favour of nor vote against the resolution. However, delegates can only abstain if they responded with present during their roll call (iv) Delegates may respond with yes/no with rights when they vote in favour of or against a resolution and wish to give reasons for the same. They are then given a 30 seconds comment after voting for all delegates is complete No voting procedure will be conducted for passing the working papers. How to raise the motion: "The delegate of the Republic of Cuba would like to raise a motion to move into voting procedure for Draft Resolution 1.0 through a roll call vote"

This motion is used to temporarily suspend debate at the end of each committee session. How to raise the motion: "The delegate of the Kingdom of Spain would like to raise the motion for committee to recess"

This motion is raised on the last day of the conference to conclude committee proceedings. How to raise the motion: "The delegate of the People's Republic of China would like to raise the motion to adjourn committee"

When delegates respond with ‘present’ , they are given the option to abstain, i.e. neither vote in favour nor vote against a document in substantive voting. Substantive voting relates to voting for draft resolutions, motions, amendments et cetera.

When delegates respond with ‘present and voting', they are required to either vote for or against a document in substantive voting. They are not given the option of abstention.

1. General Speakers’ List (GSL) - In a GSL, each delegate, by default, gets 90 seconds to speak. However, delegates may choose to amend this time if they feel necessary. If a delegate finishes their speech before the allotted time, they are required to yield it, as explained later. There is no topic for a GSL and delegates may use it to discuss whatever they feel is relevant. For example, they can use it to introduce to the agenda, present their stance, and highlight problems. The GSL is an inexhaustible list (does not end as delegates keep adding their names to the list) and remains open throughout the conference. 2. Provisional Speakers List (PSL) - A PSL differs from a GSL as it is conducted on a specific topic and is not inexhaustible. The total time of the list, along with individual speaker’s time, must be specified while raising the motion for a PSL. In case delegates finish their speeches before it has elapsed, they are required to yield their remaining time.

1. Moderated Caucus - Moderated caucuses enable delegates to debate upon a specific subtopic of the agenda within the prescribed time. The topic is put forth using a motion, and voting determines whether the delegates wish to debate on that topic. 2. Unmoderated Caucus - Unmoderated caucuses are a form of informal debate where the delegates are allowed to speak directly to each other. Unmoderated caucuses are used to discuss potential moderated caucus topics, to complete documentation, as well as for lobbying and building blocs.

When a delegate yields to the Chair, their remaining time is dissolved with the committee time.

When a delegate yields to points of information, other delegates may ask them questions based on their speech. The number of POIs recognised by the chair will depend on the time remaining from the speech.

When a delegate does not wish to answer any points of information, they may choose to yield their time to another allied delegate to allow them to speak. This decision should be communicated to the delegate beforehand.

When a delegate yields to comments, speakers are recognised to make comments regarding the speech for the remaining time.

A right to reply is used by a delegate to comment or reply when they feel their integrity has been compromised due to personal allegations, insults, or comments made about them. If a Right to Reply is granted, then the delegate will be allowed to speak immediately, outside the list of speakers.
