Procedure/Committee Flow Overview

 Hi Delegates!

I wanted to check in with you to provide some more insight to how our committee is going to work at BMUN 71. Press Corps will be using Standard BMUN Procedure. 

Our committee will begin by opening a running Speaker’s List (standard speaking time is 1 minute, 30 seconds) and those speeches will be followed by 2 30-second comments by other delegates. This is the default timing for the Speaker’s List and can be amended if agreed upon by the committee. The Speaker’s List can also be interrupted by Moderated Caucuses and Informal Caucuses that give delegates the opportunity to exchange opinions on policy, solutions, and more specific aspects of the topics at hand. In our committee, our dias plans on leaving the flow of committee up to you delegates, so we suggest you come prepared with specific subtopics and policies you hope to discuss! During Informal Caucus time, delegates are expected to draft and write Resolutions which will then be presented to the committee during a Formal Caucus and voted on during Voting Bloc. 

For a more detailed look at BMUN procedure you can check out the Procedure Guide on the BMUN website or reach out to us with any questions!

Although we plan on letting you dictate the flow of committee, our dias will attempt to steer some talking points if we feel that an important sub-topic is left out of the conversation or that debate is repeating itself– with that in mind, we suggest you prepare lots of different talking points to make for an engaging debate! We also want to provide ample time for you all to write articles, so we will be encouraging you all to go through Topic A expediently. 

Again, don’t hesitate to reach out for any questions on procedure or flow, and leave a comment below if you’re excited for BMUN 71!!

Best,

Jalen Gelb

Head Chair of Press Corps, BMUN 71
