Procedure and Committee Flow
Hi Delegates!
I wanted to check in with you to provide some more insight to how our committee is going to work at BMUN 72. DISEC 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 dais 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 dais 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 will also be covering both topics over the span of committee, so please prepare accordingly to speak on both!
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 72!!
Best,
Chloe Zitsow
Head Chair of DISEC, BMUN 72
