1. A resolution is the document you release at the end of the committee as a binding solution that is voted upon and agreed to by a simple majority in committee ( i.e. one more than half), on the agenda that was debated upon. It involves functions and schemes that can be carried out to solve or mediate the conflict or agenda at hand, but it can only demand for actions within the mandate of the specific committee of which it is a resolution.

3. Moving into discussion of the resolution is done by raising a motion, as one would do for any caucus ;
“The delegate of xyz would like to suspend formal debate and move into the resolution process to discuss the draft resolution ABCD”
There are a few ways to discuss a resolution –
Clause by clause discussion
Round table discussion
Moderated caucus
- In a clause by clause discussion, the speaking sponsors for the resolution come up and speak out the resolution, clause by clause, word for word, and after each

4. clause, the floor is open to questions
clause, the floor is open to questions. All other delegates and even the Executive Board is allowed to ask the speaking sponsors questions (POIs) on their resolution and even Points of Order if there are any to be raised in the resolution. The speaking sponsors have to answer and defend their resolution. At this same time the floor is open for amendments, which delegates can write and send via chit to the EB.
In a Round table conference, the entire committee reads through, rather the EB reads through the entire resolution in one go, after which there is a round table discussion in which every delegate speaks about the resolution (supports, questions, answers) in order, either from left to right or vice versa. The floor is open to amendments that can be sent to the EB. POIs are entertained to speeches, though limited. Delegates can raise questions in their own speeches.
In a moderated caucus discussion it follows as any other Mod. Cauc. The resolution is read through once completely by the committee or the EB. Then delegates wishing to speak on the resolution can give their names to the EB on the list of speakers for the Mod. Cauc. and then they can comment on and question the resolution in their speeches, POIs are entertained too. The floor is open for amendments at the time, which can be sent to the EB via chit.

11. Amendment process
There are 3 kinds of amendments that can be made to a resolution ;
1. Addition amendment – in this delegates can add something that they feel is missing in the resolution. It can be added to a previously existing clause or it can be a new clause entirely. Remember it CANNOT change any wording that is existing, it can only add new information as entire clauses or subclauses.
2. Modification amendment (edition) – in this a delegate can quote an existing clause or part of it and then give a different or modified version of it as per how they want that part changed. This amendment CAN change existing wording, grammatical errors, and while changing the said part, new info CAN be added in the modified clause or subtracted from original clause.
3. Deletion amendment – this is the simplest amendment, a delegate can simply send an amendment that says deletion amendment and delete or remove a clause completely from the resolution if they find it unnecessary, unhelpful or ambiguous.
