13. Points of Motion Points of Motion are requests or proposals made by delegates during Model United Nations (MUN) sessions to change the course of the debate or to address procedural matters. Here's a simple example to explain points of motion: Imagine you're in a MUN session discussing climate change. A delegate raises their placard and says, "Point of Personal Privilege, please." The delegate might follow up with, "It's really cold in the room, can we adjust the temperature?" This is an example of a Point of Personal Privilege, addressing a personal discomfort. Another example could be a delegate raising a Point of Order during the debate because they believe the speaker is not following the rules of procedure correctly. They might say, "Point of Order, the speaker is going over the time limit," to bring attention to the issue and request clarification or intervention from the chair. These examples illustrate how delegates use Points of Motion to raise concerns, request adjustments, or ensure the smooth functioning of the MUN session.

14. Points of Motion - How is it done? Point of Order : Used to raise procedural issues. Point of Information : Used to seek clarification from the chair or other delegates. Point of Personal Privilege : Used to address personal discomfort or technical issues. Point of Parliamentary Inquiry : Used to ask procedural questions.

15. Procedure Opening Speeches : Delegates present their country's stance on agenda topics. Moderated and Unmoderated Caucuses : Structured debates and informal discussions. Resolution Drafting : Collaborative process to draft and negotiate resolutions. Voting : Delegates vote on resolutions to pass or reject them.

16. Moderated Caucuses Moderated Caucus: Imagine you're in a classroom with your classmates, and your teacher is leading a discussion about organizing a school event. During a Moderated Caucus, the teacher might choose one student at a time to speak. The student gets a specific amount of time to share their ideas or ask questions, and then the teacher moves on to the next student. Example: The teacher says, "Okay, Anjali , you have one minute to share your ideas for the school event." Anjali speaks for a minute, and then the teacher says, "Thank you. Now, let's hear from Sai."

17. Unmoderated Caucuses Continuing with the classroom scenario, during an Unmoderated Caucus, the teacher might allow all the students to move around freely and discuss ideas with each other without any specific time limit. Students can gather in small groups to brainstorm ideas, form alliances, or draft plans together. Example: The teacher says, "For the next ten minutes, you can move around the classroom and talk to your classmates about the school event. Work together to come up with creative ideas and solutions.”

18. Caucuses Summary In summary, Moderated Caucus is like taking turns to speak one at a time, while Unmoderated Caucus is like a free discussion where everyone can move around and talk with each other without specific time limits.
