Delegate Preparation

Delegates may find various resources attached below, including a document that details all parliamentary procedures specific to WMUNC. In order to find conference-specific rules, ask your committee chair or look up “[Conference Name] Parliamentary Procedure.”

Position Papers

The link for the General Assembly & Specialized Bodies Position Paper Rubric is linked below. All delegates will be expected to submit a paper in order to be eligible for awards. Position papers will be due March 20th and should be emailed to wheelerhsmun@gmail.com.

General Assembly

Another important note: delegates are NOT required to write a position paper for the secondary topic. They will be expected to write a position paper for only the primary; anything extra will not be graded by our team. However, we strongly recommend all delegates do some research on the secondary topic prior to the conference.

EVERY DELEGATE participating in this Crisis is REQUIRED to submit a position paper and will be disqualified from any awards if they fail to do so.
