MUN Fundamentals

We the people

100

You! Or anybody participating in a MUN conference.

Delegate(s)

You shouldn't sit on this person! They are the moderator or judge of a MUN committee.

Chair (Co-Chair not acceptable)

300

A member of this includes the chair, co-chair, and anybody else who works "up there"

The Dais

Be polite to this person! After all, they are the ones passing around your notes.

Getting things into motion

100

A delegate's first speech is usually made thanks to this motion, with a very self-explanatory name.

Speaker's List

200

Stand up, move around, debate, you can do just about anything if you motion for this. Hint: you could say the chair doesn't do much for this type of caucus.

Unmoderated Caucus

300

Total time. Individual time. Topic. That's what makes up this motion.

Moderated Caucus

400

Mooooo! It's not an animal but with this motion, a delegate will usually stand up, and engage in (almost)  conversational debate with their fellow delegates. Sometimes on a specific topic.

CoW, Consultation of the Whole

What's the point

100

It's a little hot, could you turn up the AC?

Point of Personal Privilege

200

How many speakers get to speak in this moderated caucus?

Point of Inquiry

300

Ahem, chair. You forgot to call my name for roll call!

Point of Order

400

Can I go to the bathroom?

Point of Personal Privilege

Aye aye, General

100

The place where it all happens! A secretary-general is usually in charge of organizing one of these.

Conference

200

DISEC, ECOFIN, or SOCHUM. All different types of these subsidiary bodies of the UN.

Committees

300

In a committee, you'll usually talk about this general subject.

Topic

400

The whole point of MUN is that delegates should write one of these by the end of it! It solves the topic at hand.
