public speaking!!!
what is one of the main rules when it comes to presenting a speech?
[ we'll favour you more if you can list a few things ;) ]
rapport!!!! some of the examples they could list are ... eye contact, loud voices, speaking to the room, trying your best not to stutter
Amendment
to edit or change a part of the resolution.
200 extra points if you know what the difference between an unfriendly and friendly amendment.
what do you need to keep in mind when referring to yourself, or other delegates (and the chairs) in committee?
- respect, we are in an authoritative debate during the conference, which you should take very seriously
- SPEAK FROM THIRD PERSON!!!!
Point Of Order
This motion allows delegates to move the committee to voting procedures on a currently debated amendment/clause/resolution. Another delegate must second this motion for it to be considered
Motion to extend points of information
This motion allows delegates to request an increased number of points of information provided the delegate who has the floor has opened himself/herself to “any and all” points of information. Another delegate must second this motion for it to be considered.
Yielding
to give the floor to either another delegate or to the chair
how should you keep someone engaged in your speech?
- good tone
- starting with a fact or a statement
- ... personally attacking another delegate (just kidding!!!)
- honestly let them come up with a few ideas themselves and deem them worthy later on
Point of Information to the Chair:
This point is raised if a delegate has a direct question to the Chair. This could be regarding any aspect of the debate, but cannot interrupt a speaker.
Motion to enter an unmoderated caucus:
This motion allows delegates to recommend the committee move into unmoderated caucus. Another delegate must second this motion for it to be considered.
Preambulatory clauses
clauses that acknowledge the past, or things that have been done.
WHY are POI's so important for delegates of all levels, specifically beginners?
- help to think on the spot
- put your research and stance strength to test
- affects how you are perceived as a delegate in the conference, eg. you say 'i'm open to no POI's' which isn't a problem but shows how you might not be a willing delegate to tackle challenges like POI's
Point of Personal Privilege
This point is raised to address the discomfort of a delegate, or the fact that a delegate cannot hear what is being said. This is the only point that can interrupt a speaker.
Motion to move to the previous question
This motion allows delegates to move the committee to voting procedures on a currently debated amendment/clause/resolution. Another delegate must second this motion for it to be considered
