MOCK Committee: topics should be enjoyable Delegates should not need too much research E.g. Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Open Secondary Speaker’s list To determine the order of speakers for the first topic
This list will be updated periodically
When it runs out, you move into voting block immediately
Debate the Topic Order was established in the secondary speakers list
Set a time limit for each speech, with or without questions/comments
Usually around 1-2 mins per speech
Delegates can motion for moderated or unmoderated caucuses
Caucuses Moderated Setting a topic is optional Set a speaking time for each delegate and
Unmoderated Delegates congregate and speak as they please Very useful for working papers Sometimes organized committees can use this instead of
moderated at times
Close Speaker’s list All delegates may not have said all they want to say
Use the influence of a dias to move committee along
Introduce Working Paper Motion to introduce working paper officially Should be prewritten, maybe even worked on in caucuses
Working paper should address the topics discussed
Make sure it is complete but does not need to be long
Important aspects are that all sections are present and proper language is used
Move Into Voting Block Remember which countries are present and which are present and voting
Voting Procedure Vote by Placard Each delegate raises their placard for or against the resolution Only those who did roll call may vote Those who are present and voting can’t abstain
Motion to roll call vote Each country is called out to voteVote by Acclamation (required in G20) If nobody speaks in opposition, it passes
Divide the question Vote on each clause separately, by placard

If in a club meeting, the whole meeting should be for one topic normally
